Default numeric systems

It always bugged me that most monitors insist on a '$' before a hex number though no other numeric system is supported. DreMon not only supports hex, dez, bin and oct but also has "default numeric systems". This is the system which is most common in a situation, e.g. hex while assembling. This system can be used without its prefix. Instead of

a00C000 ldx #$c0

it's enough to enter

a00C000 ldx #c0

DreaMon adds the missing '$' automatically. Hex is almost ever the default system. Exceptions are the devicenumber, where dez is default. Of course you can select everywhere another system by using the corresponding prefix:

!Dez
$Hex
&Oct
%Bin

Additionally all over the programm numbers can be described by any combination of binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal as well as Label and terms. Read more about it in the chapter Terme.
