Hi John,
The AND operator actually does a bitwise and operation. So, to get the low byte you can do:
&B0011000011000000 AND &B11111111
and you should get &B11000000 as the result.
If you are shifting right you should use the integer divide operator (\) ie, a back slash. This will discard any fractional value as a result of the divide. So, to get the high byte you can do:
&B0011000011000000 \ 256
and you should get &B00110000 as the result.
