One last observation the Entry Point(EP) and the Load Point of the module can be two different addresses; if the Entry Point is not offset 0 into the load module. R0 will be the Entry Point in all cases.

If you issue a "LOAD EP=PROGB", it returns you the address and the AMODE of the program in Register 0. If you issue "LOAD EP=PROGB,LOADPT=FWD" it returns only the address in FWD, no AMODE information. This is how I read it.
