 NUMLOW()
 Returns the lower value byte in a 16-bit number
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     NUMLOW(<nWORD|cHexWORD>) --> nByte

 Argument

     <nWORD|cHexWORD>  Designates either a decimal number or hexadecimal
     digit string.

 Returns

     The lower value byte in the <nWORD|cHexWORD> 16 bit number is returned.

 Description

     NUMLOW() breaks down a 16-bit number into its two bytes and returns the
     higher byte as a result.  Use NUMLOW() with such functions as SCANKEY()
     or GETCURSOR(), so you can separate the two bytes of the keyboard scan
     code.

 Note

     .  An invalid parameter returns a value of -1.

 Example

     Breaks down the combined return value of GETCURSOR():

     ? "Last line for the cursor is:", NUMLOW(GETCURSOR())
