Please don't talk down to me.  I know how to manipulate bitsets, but 
do WHAT to a BITSET?   As far as I know, NONE of the M2 compilers I have
ever used allow me to convert between any kind of number and any kind of
set.  Otherwise, I'd have used that rather than mucking about with assembly
language.  

I know that that isn't mentioned anywhere in PIM3C.
