    |  nVolume := nMakeLong( 5, 5)                                 |
    |  SetVolume( nVolume )                                        |

    |  Function SetVolume( nVol )                                  |
    |  nLeftVolume  := nLoWord( nVol )  //  -> 5                   |
    |  nRightVolume := nHiWord( nVol )  //  -> 5                   |
