Question: In trying to display (disp) data in different formats it became clear that the data type part of the disp command may not be functioning as described. As an example I tried to display memory as unsigned char's and the following didn't work: disp *(0x0),x neither did any of the format options. Any suggestions for displaying unformatted memory in different data formats?

Answer: DISP command displays the contents of an array or structure of a scalar type. Since memory is not a scalar type DISP acts like a ? command (see DB:14-20).
