Thanks for this. I've started to look at 6502 assembler now. Let's see if I have the patience. I have written some simple S/390 (mainframe) assembler a long time ago but am well out of practice.

I'm interested in how the code is called in the first place.

After reset the 6502 loads the program counter from memory at FFFC and FFFD, then starts running code from that address.
