Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Register Window

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Register window shows the current status of processor
registers and flags.
To open the Register window:
■ Choose the Register command from the View menu
OR
■ Press F2
CodeView highlights changed registers as you step through your
program.
If the 386 option is turned on, the Register window shows 32-bit
registers. This option is available only in CV.EXE, the real-mode
version of CodeView.
To turn this option on:
■ Select the 386 Instructions command from the Options menu
OR
■ Enter the O3+ command in the command window
See: ◄Options Menu: 386 Instructions Command►
◄Options (O) Command-Window Command►
CodeView allows you to change the value stored in any register.
■ To change a register value, overtype the register value,
then move the cursor to a different line.
■ To change a flag value, double-click the value with the
mouse.
■ To restore the original register value, press ESC (before
you move the cursor) or choose the Undo command from the Edit
menu (after you move the cursor).
The Register window also displays the effective address at the
bottom of the window. The effective address shows the actual
location of an operand in physical memory. Use this window to
debug in Assembly or Mixed mode.
