        MOV.L       #PARM,R2        ; Set the address of the parameter block in R2.
        MOV.B       R1,1h:5[R2]   ; Set the value of R1 (file number) in R2 + 1 bytes 
                                    ; (direction).
        MOV.L       #010D0000h,R1   ; Set the function code of FTELL in R1.
        MOV.L       #SIM_IO,R3      ; Set the address of the system call in R3.

        NOP
        MOV.L       #PARM,R2        ; Set the address of the parameter block in R2.
        MOV.L       4h:5[R2],R1   ; Set the value of R2 + 4 bytes (new offset) in R1.
        MOV.L       R1,[R5]   ; Set the value of R1 in the location pointed to by R5 
                              ; (offset pointer).
        MOV.B       [R2],R1   ; Set the first byte of R2 (result of execution) in R1.
        RTS                   ; Return to the address where the function was called.
