Perhaps that's what's going wrong. I would expect the preprocessor to work 
it out,
or at least that was what I was hoping :-)
I just think there HAVE to be a way to do this directly in the assembly 
file,
instead of involving a C file. In this case, the assembly code is a 
standalone project,
and there would be no other files.
