E - execute instructions

Usage:

e [NN]

This command provides the capability to execute a specified number of target program instructions, starting with the next instruction to be executed. NN is the (octal) number of instructions to be executed; if NN is not given, one instruction is executed. Execution is performed in the controlled environment provided by the trace mechanism. If the trace mechanism is currently engaged, it will be temporarily disengaged until the execute command has been performed. Upon completion of the command, the trace package returns with the "<address>?" prompt, indicating the new value of the IC (instruction counter) and readiness to accept the next command.

Multiple commands cannot be specified on the same input line following the execute command.
