Alonzo!  Are you sure?  The HP-71 Internal Design Specification says that
opcode 800 loads the least significant nibble of the Output register with
the LEAST SIGNIFICANT NIBBLE OF THE C REGISTER.  That's _not_ the "sign
field" nibble, which is the MOST significant nibble, right?
HP's mnemonics call this nibble 0.  The S field is nibble 15.
