You really need to find a reasonable ASSEMBLER Language text/tutorial. 
There are some ideas in Assembler that you're not yet aware of, like 
base registers, relative addressing arithmetic modes, etc. :-)

If you can find a Supervisor Services manual, there's some sections on 
linkage there. But a textbook will help with addressing/base registers, 
arithmetic modes, indexing, looping, etc.
