 The ''Read'' statement is used to read from a memory location and optionally copy the read value into another register.  The first form of the ''Read'' statement is the basic read memory operation that stores the result into Register E (''REGE'').  This is equivalent to the standard ''READ'' statement in 9LC.
-The second form is the ''Read Into'' form and is used to perform a read from memory and then copy the read value from ''REGE'' to whatever other register you like.
+The second form is the ''Read Into'' form and is used to perform a read from memory and then immediately copy the read value from ''REGE'' to whatever other register you like.

 The ''ReadStatus'' statement is used to read status values from the UUT's CPU status lines and place that information into Register C (''REGC'') value into another register.  The first form of the ''Read'' statement is the basic read memory operation that stores the result into Register E (''REGE'').  This is equivalent to the standard ''READ STS'' statement in 9LC.

 ==== Walk ====
-The ''Walk'' statement performs a sequence of write operations at the specific location, but instead of incrementing a value, it rotates the bits of the value.  first write is the specified value and then the bits in the value are rotated once and the write is repeated.  This repeats until all bits have been rotated through all possible positions.
