working with binary numbers with bitwise operators

[MisterX]

I dont know if the value of the appended number
is important but appending of numbers requires a 
base to base modulation or you get

put baseconvert(5431,10,2) = 1010100110111
put baseconvert(54,10,2)   = 110110
put baseconvert(31,10,2)   =         11111

110110 and 11111 do not make 1010100110111
To make this work...

consider instead that 5400 + 31 = 5431...

put baseconvert(5400,10,2) = 1010100011000
put baseconvert(31,10,2)   =         11111

put baseconvert( (5400 bitor 31),10,2)
                           = 1010100011111

a simpler example...
1600 + 16 = 1616
so
put baseconvert(1616,10,2) = 11001010000
put baseconvert(1600,10,2) = 11001000000
put baseconvert(  16,10,2) = 00000010000

if you bitor the 1600 and the 16 you should get... 1616

not tested for bug 38 ;)
