# Assemble

## Description

This command allows you to assemble instructions. Currently, only the IBM PC processors provide an assembler, nonetheless, plugin writers can extend or totally replace the built-in assembler by writing their own.

The assembler requires to enclose all memory references into square brackets. For example:

```
        mov ax, [counter]
```

Also, the keyword 'offset' must not be used. Instead of

```
        mov eax, offset name
```

you must write

```
        mov eax, name
```
