Thanks, Brian. It's surprising how many mathematical operations are "just like in decimal" .. once you are used to multi-word math. Trouble is, 16-bit (and subsequent 32-bit) math often means that the programmer can do it all in one instruction, and tends to forget all that multiple-word linkage using the C or X flags or whatever. Gosh, when we had to do it 8 bits at a time (remember?) we HAD to do that kind of thing all the time.
