Scruss's example was for vasm which is what you asked about initially. Vasm has very little to do with programming on the Pi more to do with creating binaries (object code) for other processors.Yeah, I really have no clue where to start, and I can't believe I got this far before someone pointed that out. That said, I thought ARM and x86 made the Z80 obsolete and that only old computers and video games used it. I guess it makes sense if Pascal and BASIC just copied the command over though.Matt,
Considering your posts here and elsewhere, it seems to me that you are attempting to run before you can even crawl.
In answer to your question it's a label to mark where a branch will jump to in the z80 assembly in this case similar to a repeat until loop in a higher level language such as Pascal, or a for loop in BASIC.
I suggest you look for tutorials regarding python (a language I hate BTW but relatively easier to learn). If you have the GUI version of RaspiOS then look under the help menu for bookshelf. there's plenty plenty of magazines and books in there to help with your studying.
