[Simh] LGP deposit command

[Bob Supnik]

Okay, this is a "feature" due to the fact that the LGP-30 has a 32-bit 
memory word, and bit<31>, the spacer, is always zero.  Because the 
accumulator (A register) is a full 32b, with a working bit<31>, all 
numeric displays and inputs are 8 hex digits.  However, when anything is 
stored in memory, whether from the console or from a program, bit<31> is 
always cleared:

sim> d 10 12345678
sim> ex 10
10:    12345678

HOWEVER:

sim> d 10 01234567
sim> ex 10
10:    01234566

I'm not sure how to deal with this better, other than putting a 
prominent warning in the User's Manual.
