That's pretty clever! Of course a clever assembler
should be able to know if one intends to use a mask
or a value dependind on the instruction preceding  it
or at least that would be nice. I keep on making the 
same mistakes over and over......

Me too. I've started a little notebook of "Things not to do."
Every time I hit one of these HomerCode(tm) items, I put it in the book.
That way, when I feel like I'm chasing my tail, I can check the book. I'm 
also writing down how to find/fix them, as I figure out good methods.

But Atmel isn't helping us too much with poorly thought out mnemonics.
