Hi,

Exactly right.  What do you think of this description:

  7.104 '.zero SIZE'
  ==================

  This directive emits SIZE 0-valued bytes.  SIZE must be an absolute
  expression.  This directive is actually an alias for the '.skip'
  directive so in can take an optional second argument of the value to
  store in the bytes instead of zero.  Using '.zero' in this way would be
  confusing however.

Cheers
  Nick
