Mostly that's true.
While I have some general questions I'm still working on, mostly what I
seem to be finding is all the things that don't work or just aren't safe
with basic asm, sometimes in non-obvious ways. Makes finding
non-trivial samples a challenge. Worse, my docs for basic asm (almost)
consist of "for safe and maintainable code, don't use basic, always use
extended." Which says to me I simply haven't learned enough yet to
write this topic.
I'm going to experiment and read a bit more, but unless inspiration
strikes (or links and samples appear), I spose I'll just have to post my
observations here and if they're wrong, people can shoot them down. I
just hate getting shot down. But sometimes that's what you need to do
to learn.
