 # at Unix prompt).  Once in xspim, press "load" button, type in the file
 # name containing MIPS code.  You should be able to see part of this 
 # file in xspim code window.
 # Press "run" to run the program.  Better yet, to see what's going on,
 # step the program one instruction at a time,  by press "step".
 # this will pop up a small step window.  Inside it, press "step" again to
 # actually step the program.  watch carefully the value in registers.
