Mark,

Thanks. I appreciate the clarification. The -B switch works fine, I 
really appreciate the tip, but it doesn't appear to be documented that I 
can tell. Here's what help says:

PDP-11 Commands Examining and Changing State Subtopic? switches

Switches
     Switches can be used to control the format of display information:

             -a                 display as ASCII
             -c                 display as character string
             -m                 display as instruction mnemonics
             -o                 display as octal
             -d                 display as decimal
             -h                 display as hexadecimal

And I don't see it in pdp11_doc.doc either. I checked the latest git 
version as well.

Thanks,

Will
