* An asterisk in column one denotes a comment line
* Comments may also follow any syntactically complete instruction: 
         LA    1,0           Comment 
         NOP                 Comment (after a NOP instruction)
* Comments after instructions with omitted operands require a comma ","
         END   ,             Comment (without comma, "Comment" assumed an operand of "END")
