The CodeView example for port input command is unclear in the
following manuals:

1. Page 150 of Microsoft C 5.10 "CodeView And Utilities, Microsoft
   Editor, Mixed Language Programming Guide"

2. Page 150 of Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.10 CodeView and Utilities

3. Page 150 of Microsoft Pascal 4.00 CodeView and Utilities

4. Page 127 of Microsoft FORTRAN 5.10 CodeView and Utilities

The example assumes the radix is in hexadecimal. To set the radix to
hexadecimal, type in the following command:

   >n16

After setting the radix to hexadecimal, the example works properly.

If the radix is not in hexadecimal, a "0x" must be present for
CodeView to recognize the value as a hex format. The following example
shows how to use the port input command if CodeView is not in
hexadecimal radix:

   >I 0x2f8
