    I take it is the x86 intrustion set you are using.

    From what i can remeber (which ain't a lot a times), the POP instructions takes the top value off the stack.

    i think the sytax is

    POP desc where desc is the memory location you wan the value to be placed in memory.

    I am assuming you know what a stack is? If not let me know and I'll try and dig out some notes somewhere to explain it better than i could now.


    btw....i never did ant x86 assembly programming so i may be wrong, but it is close enough.

    Found a quick example of PUSH and POP with the STACK here. It might help you out.
