I would advise that you ditch IRA for now and use Resource for disassembly. It has the advantage that when you are looking down the list and you see execbase (4) in register a6, you can press "e" (for exec) and it will change the hex offset into human readable form. When it gets into lists, you can use the symbols features to tell Resource that it is a memlist and it will auto-comment the code.

Ditto with anything involving the DOS and graphics library functions - hit "d" and "g" respectively. "h" for any hardware references etc. It will help a great deal while learning this stuff!
