|read/write |512,513|$0200,$0201|VDSLST|Vector to Display List Interrupt routine|both|59315/$E7B3 (a RTI instruction)

Attention: 
* All 6502 registers have to be saved before and restored after the interrupt (before the RTI instruction).
* an example to save registers and variables in the language "Action!" [Interrupts in ACTION]
* The interrupt routine must end with an RTI (return from interrupt).

!!Example for saving and restoring the processor registers

{{{
     ;we need to push to stack, first A, then X, then Y
 PHA ;push ACCU to Stack
 TXA ;transfer X to ACCU
 PHA ;push ACCU (now X) to Stack
 TYA ;transfer Y to ACCU
 PHA ;push ACCU (now Y) to Stack
     ;
     ;... routine goes in here ...
     ;
     ;now we need to pull from stack first Y, then X, then A
 PLA ;pull Y from STACK to ACCU
 TAY ;transfer ACCU to Y
 PLA ;pull X from STACK to ACCU
 TAX ;transfer ACCU to X
 PLA ;pull ACCU from STACK
 RTI ;end interrupt routine with ReTurn from Interrupt
}}}

!!Example for setting your interrupt routine
* Set bit 7 in the [display list|display_list_instruction_table] line you want the interrupt to occur
* clear bit 7 of [NMIEN] to disable the interrupt
* set [VDSLST] to your routine
* set bit 7 of [NMIEN] to enable the interrupt
