This would mean that the translation table used in the assembler is wrong. A
quick fix is to encode the strings as numbers, or to write a macro

        .macro  string  s
                .repeat .strlen(s), i
                        .byte   .strat(s,i) | $80
                 .endrepeat
        .endmacro

Can someone explain me how characters work in the apple? This is the first
time I hear something about the usage of bit 7.
