Albert Huang,

Sorry for the confusion.  "most significant" = upper 16 bits and "least
significant" = lower 16 bits (the free memory is a 32 bit value).

If you write the values out, you will get the 32 bit value (both values are
hex) ... for example:

999C + 54A0 = 999C54A0

first and then in hex.

Cheers,

While the declaration for mm_free_mem is int mm_free_mem(void) The fact is that the RCX has only 32K of memory available. 32K in hex is 0x8000... there's never a need for more than 4 digits in hex.
