thank you very much for the extremely awesome correction

what do you suppose the b command put in n.out

I actually didn't know about n.out before. It wasn't mentioned in the v1 manual so they must have gotten rid of it by then. However it seems that it is just a symbol table that's generated by the assembler. B code is eventually also passed to the assembler so it would just contain whatever symbols were in the assembly i suppose.
