	That's probably one of the best that you will find for now...But to get many
tutorials, go to www.acz.org.  They have many members, each with their own set
of tutorials.

	Hex is a base-16 number system.  That means that 0=0,1=1,2=2,3=3 and so on,
till A=10,B=11,C=12,D=13,E=14,F=15.  $10 is equal to 16, or $F +$1, so you get
16.
