    1.$ RUN MYPROG
         .
         .
         .

 <Ctrl/Y>

      $ EXAMINE %D2145876444
      7FE779DC:  0000000000
      $ DEPOSIT .=17
      7FE779DC:  0000000017
      $ CONTINUE

      The RUN command executes the image MYPROG.EXE; subsequently,
      Ctrl/Y interrupts the program. Assuming that the initial
      defaults of the /HEXADECIMAL and /LONGWORD qualifiers are in
      effect, the DEPOSIT command places a longword value 17 (23
      decimal) in virtual memory location 2145876444.

      Because the EXAMINE command sets up a pointer to the current
      memory location, which in this case is virtual address
      2145876444, you can refer to this location with a period (.)
      in the DEPOSIT command.

      The CONTINUE command resumes execution of the image.

    2.$ DEPOSIT/ASCII   2C00=FILE: NAME: TYPE:
      00002C00:  FILE: NAME: TYPE:...

      In this example, the DEPOSIT command deposits character data
      at hexadecimal location 2C00 and displays the contents of
      the location after modifying it. Because the current default
      length is a longword, the response from the DEPOSIT command
      displays full longwords. The ellipsis ( . . . ) indicates that
      the remainder of the last longword of data contains information
      that was not modified by the DEPOSIT command.

    3.$ EXAMINE 9C0             !  Look at Hex location 9C0
      000009C0:  8C037DB3
      $ DEPOSIT .=0             !  Deposit longword of 0
      000009C0:  00000000
      $ DEPOSIT/BYTE .=1        !  Put 1 byte at next location
      000009C4:  01
      $ DEPOSIT .+2=55          !  Deposit 55 next
      000009C7:  55
      $ DEPOSIT/LONG .=0C,0D,0E !  Deposit longwords
      000009C8:  0000000C 0000000D 0000000E

      The sequence of DEPOSIT commands in the above example
      illustrates how the DEPOSIT command changes the current
      position pointer. Note that after you specify the /BYTE
      qualifier, all data is deposited and displayed in bytes, until
      the /LONGWORD qualifier restores the system default.

    4.$ BASE=%X200               !  Define a base address
      $ LIST=BASE+%X40           !  Define offset from base
      $ DEPOSIT/DECIMAL LIST=1,22,333,4444
      00000240:  00000001 00000022 00000333 00004444
      $ EXAMINE/HEX LIST:LIST+0C !  Display results in hex
      00000240:  00000001 00000016 0000014D 0000115C

      The assignment statements define a base address in hexadecimal
      and a label at a hexadecimal offset from the base address.
      The DEPOSIT command reads the list of values and deposits each
      value into a longword, beginning at the specified location. The
      EXAMINE command requests a hexadecimal display of these values.
