Research direction

Locate the “Functions” lesson in part 2 and the corresponding part 1 lesson. Read how the lesson sections are organized, then move the subroutines introduction to part 1 while leaving the refactoring and MemCopy material in part 2. Done means the introduction appears in part 1 and the remaining part 2 topics are unchanged.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The 'Functions' lesson in part 2 includes an introduction to subroutines. This seems like it belongs in part 1, as an "introduction to programming (in asssembly)" topic.

The other topics covered -- refactoring repetitious code into functions, and introducing/implementing MemCopy -- are fine here.
