I made a mistake here. The line should have read:
move.l #StringEnd-String,D0

It is certainly quicker than doing it by hand, and makes the disassembly more
readable. E.g. if you have many instructions like this, and many text strings
one after the other, it can make things much clearer.

With the example I gave, to convert the
move.l #19,D0
into
move.l #StringEnd-String,D0
You move to the String label, press Ctrl-Shift-Alt-1, move back to the move.l
#19,D0 instruction and press Ctrl-1.
The ReSource on-line help gives a better explanation of why this feature is
useful in relation to jump tables -- but there is probably much less scope for
these on the 6502 than the 68000.

I find this very useful when "navigating" the disassembly.
