I've got a binary file I'm reading in that has command codes in it.  One set
of commands has a hex code B0 - BF which means "change color to" with the
color being the low order nibble of the byte.  How can I pull off the
nibbles from the bytes?
example:

byte command code = BC, so set the color to C.

thanks,
Dave
