every time i try to copy an assembly listing, the listing always uses labels. I can't use labels in Vicmon or any of the commodore machines (that i know of). All i get is a question mark. So for example, i can't run this code with the labels:

Programming in Assembly with VICMON on the VIC-20 (techtinkering.com)

Is there a way around it? I want to learn 6502 the old way but all the source code has labels...please help

  Isn’t VICMON a monitor, not an assembler? You’ll need to translate the given assembly code into machine language and enter the program in using that. I think the tutorial link you posted teaches you the commands you will need to learn to use the monitor.

  Aha, if I understood the article correctly, you indeed can enter in assembly code into VICMON using the .A command. However, you will need to know the memory address that each label correspond to, and replace the parts of the assembly code that refers to each label to the corresponding memory address when you are entering it into VICMON.
