Indeed, and that's where I learned 80x86 assembly coding (I didn't
have an actual assembler at the time). DEBUG didn't even have the
option of using other bases; other assemblers might give you "decimal
by default, or adorn them for other bases" (eg MASM's &H notation),
but DEBUG forced you to convert to hex manually.

Although, to be fair, DEBUG was said to have a "mini-assembler" built
in. It was never designed to replace actual assemblers, AFAIK. I just
happened to use it that way. :)
