Do I need to save the flag settings in the format they are in now, 
or in binary?

Thanks so much !

the user flags. They are supposed to be a direct mapping of the flag 
settings, 1 if the flag is set, 0 if not, with flag -1 (or 1, 
respectively) being the least significant (rightmost) digit. To see 
these integers as only 1's & 0's, do MTH -> BASE -> BIN. That will 
switch your display from the HEX mode you apparently have it in.

CYLIN, & SPHERE is one of them, if I recall correctly.

flag settings and then return to where you were before you made any 
changes.
