  let i = 0
  while i <= 16*16*16*16
    let n = i
    let j = 0
    let h = ""
    while n
      let h = '0123456789ABCDEF'[n%16].h
      let n = n/16
    endwhile
    let c = h.' '
    while j<16
      let u = i+j
      let c = c.nr2char(u).' '
      let j = j+1
    endwhile
    $put = c
    let i = i+16
    if (i%(16*16) == 0)
      $put='----------------------------------------------------'
      $put=' 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F '
