Address 0xC525 initially holds the token for the EXEC part of line 10's EXEC &HE164

• 0x8E - Token for the N60 BASIC REM statement

The code from 0xE243 to 0xE254 copies the ASCII company name string after the REM token in the BASIC line 10.

The Zilog Z-80 microprocessor is a “little-Endian” design, like the Intel.

The “ASCII” company name after REM is encoded into memory from 0xC526 to 0xC52B as 0x41, 0x20, 0x43, 0x53, 0x49, 0x49 (A, ,C,S,I,I).

• 0x4120 - capital A (0x41) and a space (20)
• 0x4353 - capital C (0x43) and a capital S (0x53)
• 0x4949 - capital I (0x49) repeated
