As mentioned above, the stack pointer is a 3-bit counter and therefore can conceivably store any of the eight values

from 0H to 7H. Since there are only five address stack registers, however, a stack pointer value that is greater than

five will cause an internal reset signal to be generated (to prevent a software crash).

Since the stack pointer is located in the register file, it can be read and written to directly by using the PEEK and

POKE instructions to manipulate the register file. When this is done, the stack pointer value will change but the values

in the address stack register will not be affected.

6.6 STACK OPERATION DURING SUBROUTINES, TABLE REFERENCES, AND INTERRUPTS

Stack operation during execution of each command is explained in 6.6.1 to 6.6.3.

6.6.1 Stack Operation during Subroutine Calls (CALL) and Returns (RET, RETSK)

Table 6-2 shows operation of the stack pointer (SP), address stack register, and the program counter (PC) during

execution of subroutine calls and returns.
