I found the following sort of code in some of the examples I was
looking at (the following is a fragment from "vampire.cw") and was
wondering if the operand "#(spin-bite)" on the line labeled "start"
was allowed under ICSW-88 standards.  If so, then what are the
rules governing mathamatical operations within operands, ESPECIALLY
where it concerns immediate addressing.  This strikes me as being
a bit "high level" compared to the way the rest of things are done.

>nprc 	dat 500
>spin	spl 0
>	djz 2 nprc
>fang	jmp @1
>bite	dat 1000 
>start	mov #(spin-bite) @bite
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^
>	sub bite @bite
>	sub #1 bite
>       mov fang @bite
>	add #10 bite
>	cmp #500 nprc 	
>	jmp start	

Thanks,
