<p><a name="index-dot-_0028symbol_0029-221"></a><a name="index-_0040code_007b_002e_007d-_0028symbol_0029-222"></a><a name="index-current-address-223"></a><a name="index-location-counter-224"></a>The special symbol <span class="samp">.</span> refers to the current address that
<span class="command">as</span> is assembling into. Thus, the expression <span class="samp">melvin:
.long .</span> defines <code>melvin</code> to contain its own address.
Assigning a value to <code>.</code> is treated the same as a <code>.org</code>
directive. Thus, the expression <span class="samp">.=.+4</span> is the same as saying
<span class="samp">.space 4</span>.
