Kev -

See my remark to JJ about 6809 using the quoted strings as pointers to type
char *. I believe that's the only thing MW/6809 C knows to do with a quoted
string.

The fdb _1 (as I'm sure you know) is just allocating a constant somewhere else
(usually near the end of the .r file) that is:

 _1 fcb 'a','b','c','d','e','f','h'   (or equivalent)

And the 'fdb _1' is just a pointer to it.

Pete
