I paused at the last second before posting the code with the constants in the ADD instructions figuring that I would get hammered for doing it. Oh well I deserve the pounding for doing it.

Well, I didn't mean to administer a "pounding", but I thought it was worth mentioning. (c:

One way to delete the extra "-1" term is to move the labels "MoveC1" and "MoveC2" to the lines just after their respective instructions instead of on the same lines.

I thought of that, too, but it introduces a little bit of a maintenance problem because the labels need to stay "stuck" to those instructions forever after, and somebody might accidentally put an instruction in between sometime in the future. I suppose some warning comments like KEEP THESE LINES TOGETHER, YOU MORON might help prevent such an accident.

Another possibility is to put a dummy byte at the beginning of the table. That wastes a byte, of course, but that's probably no big deal.
