assembly directives

[Spahr, John]

>"info as" has a list of directives.

Thanx for the reply, but I'm more interested in assembly directives, not
command line options. For example .word 'expression'. The definition from
using as is: 

"This directive expects zero or more expressions, of any section, separated
by commas. The size of the number emitted, and its byte order, depend on
what target computer the assembly is for."

That doesn't tell me much of what it is for. I'm looking for more info than
this explanation. Possibly examples and not only for this directive, but all
the others. I was thinking there was probably a textbook or something which
can give me this info, but I can't seem to find anything.
