Justin DavisI realized that the one instruction isn't really a move. It's more of a copy. The original value isn't destroyed in the process. I'm not sure why I didn't realize this until now. Don't think I'll change anything. Just an interesting note.
mov or cpy?

I've hardly ever seen instruction sets where cpy is used, they are labelled as mov even though the origin isn't destroyed. The distinction is more associated with filesystems and such. So I wouldn't worry about the name.
