Actully, in that example you don't need the semi-colons.  The code
between the quotes is copied verbatim (not including register
substitutions in extended asm) into the asm file, INCLUDING the
linefeeds on each line.

True, but asm is not C (your choice though, see my sig).

Nah, I prefer extended asm (more control and it usually optimises
better).
