Re: System Call Curiosity

Sam, you need to return control back to the system (which is not done
automatically for you). That's a bit simplified, but it's the gist.
There's a really old thread in the archives about this from about a year
or so ago (I had the exact same question). Lightsoft's Beginner's Guide
to PowerPC Assembly Language covers it some, too.

Add a call to "blr" to the very end and you should be golden.

Cheers!
Sean
