[HECnet] Task Buillder question

[Paul Koning]

I'm not sure that's the same thing.  RT MACRO has the same switch.  Yes, that's the same as .enable abs.  It's been a long time, but if I remember correctly, that simply changes the default addressing mode to absolute.  In other words "mov foo,r0" is interpreted as if you wrote "mov @#foo,r0".
