	I've taken a class where we started out in assembly and then moved
  into C.  I would have to say that it helped a lot.  Knowing Assembly did
  not seem to have a great affect, but it did help in understanding what
  your code did compared to what you expected it to do.  There is often a big 
  difference.

	In my opinion, Assembly will not help you learn C, but can help you
  understand what your programs do.  Plus, it can help a lot in debugging...
