Add note to manual about numeric entry addresses in scripts Link scripts require a numeric entry address to begin with a digit. Make a note about that in the manual since hex addresses starting with letters could be mistaken for symbols.

->Chapter 6. Object Files</H1
-><P
->LWTOOLS uses a proprietary object file format. It is proprietary in the sense
-that it is specific to LWTOOLS, not that it is a hidden format. It would be
-hard to keep it hidden in an open source tool chain anyway. This chapter
-documents the object file format.</P
-><P
->An object file consists of a series of sections each of which contains a
-list of exported symbols, a list of incomplete references, and a list of
-"local" symbols which may be used in calculating incomplete references. Each
-section will obviously also contain the object code.</P
-><P
->Exported symbols must be completely resolved to an address within the
-section it is exported from. That is, an exported symbol must be a constant
-rather than defined in terms of other symbols.</P
-><P
->Each object file starts with a magic number and version number. The magic
-number is the string "LWOBJ16" for this 16 bit object file format. The only
-defined version number is currently 0. Thus, the first 8 bytes of the object
-file are <FONT
-COLOR="RED"
->4C574F424A313600</FONT
-></P
-><P
->Each section has the following items in order:</P
-><P
-></P
-><UL
-><LI
-><P
->section name</P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
->flags</P

->list of exported symbols (and addresses within the section)</P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
->list of incomplete references along with the expressions to calculate them</P
-></LI
-><LI
-><P
->the actual object code (for non-BSS sections)</P
-></LI
-></UL
-><P
->The section starts with the name of the section with a NUL termination
-followed by a series of flag bytes terminated by NUL. There are only two
-flag bytes defined. A NUL (0) indicates no more flags and a value of 1
-indicates the section is a BSS section. For a BSS section, no actual
-code is included in the object file.</P
-><P
->Either a NULL section name or end of file indicate the presence of no more
-sections.</P
-><P
->Each entry in the exported and local symbols table consists of the symbol
-(NUL terminated) followed by two bytes which contain the value in big endian
-order. The end of a symbol table is indicated by a NULL symbol name.</P
-><P
->Each entry in the incomplete references table consists of an expression
-followed by a 16 bit offset where the reference goes. Expressions are
-defined as a series of terms up to an "end of expression" term. Each term
-consists of a single byte which identifies the type of term (see below)
-followed by any data required by the term. Then end of the list is flagged
-by a NULL expression (only an end of expression term).</P

+><P
+>LWTOOLS uses a proprietary object file format. It is proprietary in the sense
+that it is specific to LWTOOLS, not that it is a hidden format. It would be
+hard to keep it hidden in an open source tool chain anyway. This chapter
+documents the object file format.</P
+><P
+>An object file consists of a series of sections each of which contains a
+list of exported symbols, a list of incomplete references, and a list of
+"local" symbols which may be used in calculating incomplete references. Each
+section will obviously also contain the object code.</P
+><P
+>Exported symbols must be completely resolved to an address within the
+section it is exported from. That is, an exported symbol must be a constant
+rather than defined in terms of other symbols.</P
+><P
+>Each object file starts with a magic number and version number. The magic
+number is the string "LWOBJ16" for this 16 bit object file format. The only
+defined version number is currently 0. Thus, the first 8 bytes of the object
+file are <FONT
+COLOR="RED"
+>4C574F424A313600</FONT
+></P
+><P
+>Each section has the following items in order:</P

+>the actual object code (for non-BSS sections)</P
+></LI
+></UL
+><P
+>The section starts with the name of the section with a NUL termination
+followed by a series of flag bytes terminated by NUL. There are only two
+flag bytes defined. A NUL (0) indicates no more flags and a value of 1
+indicates the section is a BSS section. For a BSS section, no actual
+code is included in the object file.</P
+><P
+>Either a NULL section name or end of file indicate the presence of no more
+sections.</P
+><P
+>Each entry in the exported and local symbols table consists of the symbol
+(NUL terminated) followed by two bytes which contain the value in big endian
+order. The end of a symbol table is indicated by a NULL symbol name.</P
+><P
+>Each entry in the incomplete references table consists of an expression
+followed by a 16 bit offset where the reference goes. Expressions are
+defined as a series of terms up to an "end of expression" term. Each term
+consists of a single byte which identifies the type of term (see below)
+followed by any data required by the term. Then end of the list is flagged
+by a NULL expression (only an end of expression term).</P

-></H2
-><P
->OS9 modules need to embed several items into the module header. These
-items are the type of module, the langauge of the module, the module
-attributes, the module revision number, the data size (bss), and the
-execution offset.  These are all either calculated or default to reasonable
-values.</P
-><P
->The data size is calcuated as the sum of all sections named "bss" or
-".bss" in all object files that are linked together.</P
-><P
->The execution offset is calculated from the address of the special
-symbol "__start" which must be an exported (external) symbol in one of the
-objects to be linked.</P
-><P
->The type defaults to "Prgrm" or "Program module". The language
-defaults to "Objct" or "6809 object code".  Attributes default to enabling
-the re-entrant flag.  And finally, the revision defaults to zero.</P
-><P
->The embedded module name is the output filename. If the output
-filename includes more than just the filename, this will probably not be
-what you want.</P
-><P
->The type, language, attributes, revision, and module name can all be
-overridden by providing a special section in exactly one of the object files
-to be linked.  This section is called "__os9" (note the two underscores). 
-To override the type, language, attributes, or revision values, define a
-non-exported symbol in this section called "type", "lang", "attr", or "rev"
-respectively.  Any other symbols defined are ignored.  To override the
-module name, include as the only actual code in the section a NUL terminated
-string (the FCN directive is useful for this).  If there is no code in the
-section or it beings with a NUL, the default name will be used.  Any of the
-preceeding that are not defined in the special section will retain their
-default values.</P
-><P
->The built-in link script for OS9 modules will place the following
-sections, in order, in the module: "code", ".text", "data", ".data".  It
-will merge all sections with the name "bss" or ".bss" into the "data"
-section.  All other section names are ignored.  What this means is that you
-must define your data variables in the a section called "bss" or ".bss" even
-though you will be refencing them all as offsets from U.  This does have the
-unpleasant side effect that all BSS references will end up being 16 bit
-offsets because the assembler cannot know what the offset will be once the
-linker is finished its work.  Thus, if the tightest possible code is
-required, having LWASM directly output the module is a better choice.</P
-><P
->While the built-in link script is probably sufficient for most
-purposes, you can provide your own script.  If you provide a custom link
-script, you must start your code and data sections at location 000D to
-accommodate the module header.  Otherwise, you will have an incorrect
-location for the execution offset.  You must use the ENTRY directive in the
-script to define the entry point for the module.</P
-><P
->It should also be obvious from the above that you cannot mix the bss
-(rmb) definitions with the module code when linking separately.  Those
-familiar with typical module creation will probably find this an unpleasant
-difference but it is unavoidable.</P
-><P
->It should also be noted that direct page references should also be
-avoided because you cannot know ahead of time whether the linker is going to
-end up putting a particular variable in the first 256 bytes of the module's
-data space.  If, however, you know for certain you will have less than 256
-bytes of defined data space across all of the object files that will be
-linked, you can instead use forced DP addressing for your data addresses
-instead of the ,u notation.  When linking with 3rd party libraries, this
-practice should be avoided.  Also, when creating libraries, always use the
-offset from U technique.</P

+filename includes more than just the filename, this will probably not be
+what you want.</P
+><P
+>The type, language, attributes, revision, and module name can all be
+overridden by providing a special section in exactly one of the object files
+to be linked.  This section is called "__os9" (note the two underscores). 
+To override the type, language, attributes, or revision values, define a
+non-exported symbol in this section called "type", "lang", "attr", or "rev"
+respectively.  Any other symbols defined are ignored.  To override the
+module name, include as the only actual code in the section a NUL terminated
+string (the FCN directive is useful for this).  If there is no code in the
+section or it beings with a NUL, the default name will be used.  Any of the
+preceeding that are not defined in the special section will retain their
+default values.</P
+><P
+>The built-in link script for OS9 modules will place the following
+sections, in order, in the module: "code", ".text", "data", ".data".  It
+will merge all sections with the name "bss" or ".bss" into the "data"
+section.  All other section names are ignored.  What this means is that you
+must define your data variables in the a section called "bss" or ".bss" even
+though you will be refencing them all as offsets from U.  This does have the
+unpleasant side effect that all BSS references will end up being 16 bit
+offsets because the assembler cannot know what the offset will be once the
+linker is finished its work.  Thus, if the tightest possible code is
+required, having LWASM directly output the module is a better choice.</P
+><P
+>While the built-in link script is probably sufficient for most
+purposes, you can provide your own script.  If you provide a custom link
+script, you must start your code and data sections at location 000D to
+accommodate the module header.  Otherwise, you will have an incorrect
+location for the execution offset.  You must use the ENTRY directive in the
+script to define the entry point for the module.</P
+><P
+>It should also be obvious from the above that you cannot mix the bss
+(rmb) definitions with the module code when linking separately.  Those
+familiar with typical module creation will probably find this an unpleasant
+difference but it is unavoidable.</P
+><P
+>It should also be noted that direct page references should also be
+avoided because you cannot know ahead of time whether the linker is going to
+end up putting a particular variable in the first 256 bytes of the module's
+data space.  If, however, you know for certain you will have less than 256
+bytes of defined data space across all of the object files that will be
+linked, you can instead use forced DP addressing for your data addresses
+instead of the ,u notation.  When linking with 3rd party libraries, this
+practice should be avoided.  Also, when creating libraries, always use the
+offset from U technique.</P
