Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

The [[OR]] numerical operator returns a comparative bit value of 1 if either value's bit is on.
{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|result}} = firstValue [[OR]] secondValue
{{PageDescription}}
* If both bits are off, it returns 0.
* If one or both bits are on then it returns 1.
* [[OR]] never turns off a bit and can be used only to turn a bit on.
{{Template:LogicalTruthTable}}
{{PageExamples}}
''Example 1:'' OR always turns bits on! Never off.
{{CodeStart}}
a% = 5 ' 101 binary
b% = 4 ' 100 binary
results% = a% {{Cl|OR}} b% ' still 101 binary using OR
{{Cl|PRINT}} "Results% ="; results%
{{CodeEnd}}
{{OutputStart}}
Results% = 5
{{OutputEnd}}
''Example 2:'' Turning a data register bit on.
{{CodeStart}}
address% = 888 'parallel port data register
bytevalue% = {{Cl|INP}}(address%)
{{Cl|OUT}} address%, bytevalue% {{Cl|OR}} 4
{{CodeEnd}}
:''Explanation:'' The third register bit is only turned on if it was off. This ensures that a bit is set. OR could set more bits on with a sum of bit values such as: OUT address%, 7 would turn the first, second and third bits on. 1 + 2 + 4 = 7
