F5       	= Works with TURBO-ASSEMBLER-MACRO!  {didn't crash after brutally tossing it 10x}
		= It's jumping over the MEMORY USAGE SCREEN and the "S" KEY!  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESC + 3 	= ASSEMBLE/COMPILE THE CODE
ESC + 4 	= PRINT FILE {NOT PRINTING, BUT SAVING THE SOURCE CODE AS A SEQ FILE ON THE FLOPPY DISK}
ESC + 5 	= OBJEKT-FILE {SAVE THE COMPILED CODE ON THE FLOPPY DISK WHICH CAN BE LATER EXECUTED}

ESC + L		= LOAD A FILE {TASM SOURCE CODE}
ESC + SHIFT L  	= LOAD A PROGRAM TO ???? MEMORY!-> LOAD filename FROM $0c00
ESC + S 	= SAVE A FILE TO A FLOPPY DISK
ESC + SHIFT S  	= SAVE A MEMORY RANGE TO DISK!! -> SAVE filename FROM $2000 TO $3000 
ESC + W 	= WRITE A FILE {AS SEQ file TO FLOPPY DISK}
ESC + * 	= DIRECTORY CONTENT {FLOPPY DISK}

ESC + 1   	= PROGRAM EXIT {TURBO-ASSEMBLER-MACRO EXIT, but you can return with SYS 758}
ESC + C   	= COLD START {Y/N}

ESC + O 	= SET THE COLOR ENVIRONMENT 
ESC + 2   	= ADD A COMMENT LINE (";-----------------")
ESC + N    	= GO TO LINE e.g. 25
ESC + F    	= FIND: 
ESC + U 	= LIST ALL LABELS {Y/N}
ESC + V 	= ZERO PAGE OVERVIEW {+ = OCCUPIED, - = FREE}

F1         	= GO 20 LINES BACKWARDS
F7         	= GO 20 LINES FORWARDS
F4         	= JUMP TO THE FIRST LINE
F8         	= JUMP TO THE LAST LINE

ESC + ARROW UP 	= JUMP TO THE FIRST LINE {same as F4}
ESC + ARROW DW 	= JUMP TO THE LAST LINE	 {same as F8}

.OFFS $xx   	= JUMP from HERE XY BYTES
.TEXT "hello!" 	= TEXT DATA
.BYTE $a5   	= BYTE DATA
.WORD $4000  	= 2 BYTES {16-bit NUMBERS} saved as LOW and HIGH BYTE in the memory {$4000 = $00 $40}
