<P>DB defines a list of bytes that will be stored in the final image. Ideal for tables and text.<BR>
<BR>
<TABLE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="Black" CELLPADDING=8 WIDTH="50%">
<TR>
	<TD><FONT COLOR="#00FF00">
<PRE>DB   1,2,3,4,"This is a string"</PRE>   
</FONT></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<P>Alternatively you can use <B>DW</B> to store a list of words. Strings are not allowed as arguments to DW.
<P>You can also use DB and DW without arguments. This works exactly like "DS 1" and "DS 2" respectively. Consequently DB and
DW can be used in a BSS/HRAM/VRAM section.
