[Tutor] working with bit arrays

[Robert Berman]

Emille,

I do think he meant bit 20 to 32 rather than 20 to 40. Unless, of
course, he's dealing with a 64 bit word.

I am delighted with all the help I have received on this topic and I am
gleefully learning anding and oring, but not too much on the EOR side.

Thanks again for all the assistance.

Robert
