OSWORD &00 is the only call that is allowed to return data in registers. All other calls return data in the control block.
OSWORD calls with numbers greater than &7F should contain the number of parameters to send in the first byte of the parameter block, and the number of parameters to receive in the second byte of the parameter block, inclusive of the first two bytes.
OSWORD calls with numbers &E0 to &FF are "available for use by the user".[1] They are indirected via USERV on the 6502 I/O processor.[1][2]
