Let my try to reword my request for help.

I have gotten quite a few responses, but no-one seemed to understand my problem.
I have an unassembled vt52 terminal emulator designed for the model 4.
It had been emailed to me. I put six hours getting it into the proper
format for model 3 edtasm to read, hoping that model 3 edtasm
would assemble it, and then I could convert it over to the model 4,
with the built it convert command.
The file is now in model 3 rs edtasm format, but it is filled with things
that rs edtasm does not recognize. ie
ld  c28
ld  a28
ld  a13  etc...
Does model 4 edtasm recognize these, I don't, do they translate to anything?
Does any one have any idea what or where this program was written on.
I have the file sitting on both 1.3 and 6.2 dos disks, both if the 
proper format for rs 1.3 edtasm to read.  Of course 1.3 edtasm does not
operate on 6.2 trsdos.
Future goal: assemble vt52 emulator into model 4 executable file.
Or give up hope and continue looking for another emulator out there,
with the possibility of cm (cursor motion).
there. done.
thanks thanks thanks

p.s. if xmodem and kermit for the 4 are out there and can be mailed in any
form to me, please let me know. thanks

[Take this line and eat it.]
It looks like your "unassembler" ate all the commas in code.  You listed:
	ld  c28
	ld  a28
	ld  a13  etc...
Since "13" is a carriage return and "28" is a cursor home code (among other
things) in Model 4 mode, I suspect your code should read:
	ld  c,28
	ld  a,28
	ld  a,13  etc...

Hope that helps out.
