that while 7E1 is expected for a user session, "punching" should be done 8N1

In general you can write PAL assembly using an
editor. Then you can
assemble, load, and execute it. Fairly easy. And if your program does
a
kind of clean exit (jump to 7600) and hasn't
disturbed OS/8 system
storage (a good first bet is to keep away from everything beyond any
7600) you even don't have to manually reboot after your program has
finishes whatever it did.
I got the doc's I need downloaded. I just have to
figure how to print them under windows 2 pages per sheet.
The other thing is I have to pick up a bunch of paper tomorrow
so I can write out my program. With the 8 you just can't create
programs on line.
