Hola Tim!

 You have several errors. Look at this...
 TH> DECLARE FUNCTION HexOut(Dbyte) AS STRING
 Here you declare that HexOut will receive a DByte UNION, but:
 TH>   PRINT D4.Ds, D4.Dd, HexOut(D4.B.b1); HexOut(D4.B.b2); _
 here you pass a byte. Looking at the function I think you must declare the
function to receive a byte instead a DByte.
 TH> UNION bw
 TH> b1 AS BYTE
 TH> b2 AS BYTE
 TH> b3 AS BYTE
 TH> b4 AS BYTE
 TH> END UNION
 Here you are confused with the TYPE and UNION mean. A Dword number has 4
bytes, not 4 different names for the same byte. This piece of code must be:
 Type BW
      b1 As Byte
      b2 As Byte
      b3 As Byte
      b4 As Byte
  End Type
 TH> UNION Dbyte
 TH>   B AS bw 'so I can look at individual bytes
 TH>   Dd AS DWORD 'this is the numeric
 TH> Ds AS STRING * 4 'this will be the string representation
 TH> END UNION
 This portion is fine...
 TH> FOR x = 1 TO 2^32-1
 TH>   LOCATE 1,1
 TH>   D4.Dd = x
 TH>   PRINT D4.Ds, D4.Dd, HexOut(D4.B.b1); HexOut(D4.B.b2); _
 TH>   HexOut(D4.B.b3); HexOut(D4.B.b4)
 TH> NEXT
 Here you are printing the HEX format in reverse order.
 TH> SLEEP 129 'look at results
 TH> FUNCTION HexOut (h AS Dbyte) AS STRING 'here's the problem
     Function HexOut (h As Byte) As String
 TH>   FUNCTION = RIGHT$("0"+HEX$(h),2)
 TH> END FUNCTION
 With this changes your code may work fine.
