Well actually I know of the concepts - but the implementation gets me in
trouble with
"G" : ^ ) .. I know what I want to tell the machine - I just don't know how
to say it.

For Example: A base register is a register holding an address that is
modified by an index or indexes to form a pointer. Usually a base register
points to the zero'th array element or the first element in a buffer. A
changeable index is added to the base register to access other parts of the
buffer or elements in the array.

Right?

I will look for that..
