I even wrote a routine that will do that (for the homescreen, but you can adapt it) as a response in the feature requests topic, but others had already posted. For reference, it would go something like this:
Lbl DSN
If r1<<0
Disp "-
End
Disp r1➤Dec
Return
Then you'd just replace "Disp X➤Dec" with "DSN(X)"
Something I'd like to reiterate: There is absolutely no difference between, say, 65535 and -1. Which way it is interpreted depends on the routine acting on it (for example, < vs <<)

As far as Axe is concerned, 65535=-1  The obvious solution is to test if G is less than 0, and, if so, display a negative sign and then -G.

You just invert and multiply. So to divide A by B, one simply does B-1**A.

saintrunner has the gist of the issue. If you're trying to use negative numbers, you have to use the signed versions of Axe's operators (only applicable for division and comparison), which are formed by doubling up the unsigned version. In the case you've mentioned, you need to use // instead of /.

Indeed, Z would work

Pic1 is static. If those conditions are compile-time (They're constants), you can use the new ...If construction. If the condition can only be evaluated at run-time, however, you'll have to use a variable (This includes user-defined ones) instead of Pic1.

Or have someone else fix it for you! (I just fixed it)
I take it that "constant" means any expression that lacks variables? So I could, say, do "...If °A>L6"?

There's also the line numbers being misaligned, as I recall. And yes, code in a variable-width font just looks weird

Jacob, the second occurrence of "#" is unneeded

Finally. I was beginning to wonder if this was ever going to be finished! But now it's done, and that is excellent. I've voiced my support for this before, and agree with what's being done here. Now to stand by to receive full mod powers (including the staff board, I hope)

Continuing in that vein, I'd like to bump stack access. Both of the suggestions I've seen (using π as a pseudo-variable to access the stack and having a command Save(VAL1,VAL2) that evals and pushes VAL1, evals VAL2, then pops the stored value of VAL1) sound good.

Excellent. We're glad to help. Feel free to document significant progress, perhaps with demo programs (more interesting that "Hello World" or a simple moving sprite, though )

Small in my experience means <100 LOC. Mimas makes it painful to work with when it's larger than that. Feel free, but the moment you want to do anything more interesting you'll need to set something up on a computer.

Parser, Mimas is one of a kind and useful if you don't have a computer, but it does lack some useful features of standard PC text editors. I personally don't use it except to test very small things.

Thanks And do I need an app, like Axe needed the axe parser?
Nope, you don't. Just follow the directions in the tutorial. I'd recommend Brass or SPASM2 over TASM, though. Edit: And if you do happen to find Learn 83 Plus Assembly too difficult, I guess Hot Dog's tutorial is an option.
