general asm question concerning the stack

Unknown

I'm making an attempt to understand asm and have a brief

question concerning usage of the stack. lemme get this

straight: because you only have a limited amount of registers

to work with you can use the stack to temporarily 'push'

the contents of a register onto the stack and 'pop' it off

of the stack when you wish to use it. Is this an accurate

understanding the stack's general purpose and usage? what

is the sort of data that is usually put on the stack?

thanks in advance.

It'd be great if anyone could direct me to some general

asm newsgroups. preferrable those not yet permeated with

lame posts and flame messages. A sensible group of people,

ya know?

thanks again.

This is probably the most civil board on the web. Trust me
