 NUMHIGH()
 Returns the higher value byte in a 16-bit number
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax
     NUMHIGH(<nWORD|cHexWORD>) --> nByte
 Argument
     <nWORD|cHexWORD>  Designates either a decimal number or hexadecimal
     digit string.
 Returns
     The higher value byte of the <nWORD|cHexWORD> 16-bit number is returned.
 Description
     NUMHIGH() breaks down a 16-bit number into its two bytes and returns the
     higher byte as a result.  Use this for such functions as SCANKEY() or
     GETCURSOR(), because NUMHIGH() separates the two bytes of the keyboard
     scan code.
 Note
     .  An invalid parameter returns a value of -1.
 Example
     Break down the combined return value of GETCURSOR():
     ? "Starting line for the cursor is:", NUMHIGH(GETCURSOR())
