What Paul was saying is that how the examine command is displayed is up to 
details implemented in individual simulators, but that there is some attempt to 
have switches which mean the same thing from one simulator to another.  See:
     sim> HELP EXAMINE SWITCHES
Beyond the standard switches, the PDP11 simulator interprets the -B switch to 
mean display bytes since the machine, although byte addressable, is a word 
oriented machine.  See: doc/pdp11_doc.doc for more details as well.

Mark,

Thanks. I appreciate the clarification. The -B switch works fine, I really appreciate the tip, but it doesn't appear to be documented that I can tell. Here's what help says:

PDP-11 Commands Examining and Changing State Subtopic? switches

Switches
    Switches can be used to control the format of display information:

            -a                 display as ASCII
            -c                 display as character string
            -m                 display as instruction mnemonics
            -o                 display as octal
            -d                 display as decimal
            -h                 display as hexadecimal

And I don't see it in pdp11_doc.doc either. I checked the latest git version as well.

Thanks,

Will
