I'm aware of this. Changing register contents seems a useful extension
to me, too. That's why I wrote "add such code". I think something like

Print all (or a predefined set of) registers:
        => reg

Print a specific register:
        => reg name

Set a specific register to "value":
        => reg name value

would be generally useful, not only for parallel I/O registers.
