Summary	04121: Debugger cannot set 8bit registers with 'do' command
Description	First noticed in MESS at r9497 (sync with MAME), looks like it could be MAME r10560. Affects multiple CPUs. I only checked a few, for example 8088 cpu cannot set AL register. Z80 cannot set any 8bit register (a,b,e for example). M6800 cannot set A,B,X registers. Cross-checked with the 'vanilla' build of MAME found in the 140u1 release thread at Mameworld. Checked 'pacman' game and 'cball' game, problem exists.
Steps To Reproduce	To reproduce with MAME. MAME pacman -debug Try setting the A register: do a=8 Error in assignment expression. The little arrow points at the letter o. MAME cball -debug Try setting any of a,b,x registers to anything. Same error.
