Yippie-a-he, indeed, that is the solution! Thanks James :-)
The only question I have, is :"What is the purpose of .data?, What does it
do?". Reading the info-files gives me the following information, but I
don't understand it. :-/
/*
`.data SUBSECTION'
==================
   `.data' tells `as' to assemble the following statements onto the end
   of the data subsection numbered SUBSECTION (which is an absolute
   expression).  If SUBSECTION is omitted, it defaults to zero.
