  14.  
  15. : Returns an error "Process -2147483648 does not exist" - which, obviously, is true, but where did it 
  16. : get the negative sign from?
  17.  
  18.  The negative sign is there... You entered a number (32 bit) which the 
  19. sign bit itself is true. 2147483648 = 10000000000000000000000000000000 
  20. binary (indicating a negative number) although, it isn't interperated 
  21. correctly. Hmm... Odd.
  22.  
  23. : I know this bug plays no trouble in the workings of the system, but it's a bug nonetheless, and will 
  24. : give Escom/AmiTech something to do =)
