To move between various parts of AFD

To Move between memory/data window 1, registers and command


prompt press F7 or F8, to go to and come back from data
window 2 press F9

To load contents of Memory


CMD> M1 DS : 100

the above mentioned command will display the contents of


memory location at offset address "0x0100" in memory window
1 (the address of the location where normally your first
variable is stored, if your first variable is a word then
moving two bytes ahead will display the contents of next
variable e.g. M1 DS:102)
Similarly to display data contents in memory window 2 use
the following command

CMD> M2 DS : 100
Changing the Values of registers
If you want to change the values of the registers directly
in the debugger then here is the command:
register=value
For example, you want to set 1DD0 in DS register, you will
write like this:
ds=1DD0
and press Enter.
You can see the above command as changed the value of the
register.

Or there is also another way, you can move between these


different windows (register window, memory window etc.) by
pressing F8 or F9 keys in the debugger and then typing the
value in the respective window at desired location.
Changing content of memory
To change the contents of the memory, Press F8 or F9 to go
to memory area 1 or memory area 2

Go to the desired location with arrow keys and type the new

After typing the new value press enter. Vlue will be
