    First off, when I store numbers into user vars, and I use a 9 bit ldir
from to op1 to redisplay 32 bit numbers, why doesn't it work for lower
numbers? I get either really low numbers or I get 0 with _dispop1a.
    If there is no solution to this, how would I detect whether a number in
a variable is too big if I cannot load it into a register? Would it be
possible to take the top bits above the 16th and see if that number is
greater than 1? How would something like that work?
