Oops, you're quite right. The default radix thing has caught me out a 
few times because the C-style NNN=decimal, 0xNN=hex convention is so 
ingrained in me. The fact that it's 2000 not 2048 should have given me a 
clue though.

I know; I'm trying to figure out how to add some new features to the 
compiler though (ref: the recent Feature Requests thread) and also to 
work out what every word does so that I can document them.
