Actually, I had something else in mind, but no matter.

<p>Yes, $readmem* also accepts a memory and will not allow a dimension
on it.
<br>So do the non-standard system tasks $sreadmem* and $writemem*.</blockquote>
Actually, I remembered $readmem, and that you can specify start and
finish addresses,
<br>but I did not remember the syntax correctly.
<p>While on the subject, in the description of $readmem in Syntax 17-7
in section 17.2.8,
<br>should not "memory_name" be "memory_identifier" ?
<p>Same for "mem_name" in section C.13 on $sreadmem, in 3 places.
