Lol, I got caught by that recently.  I had HEX in a certain part of my
program because I needed output in base 16.  Then I tried to switch back
to decimal by typing DEC, which seemed to work fine, though the rest of
the program didn't work because I figured it needed more debugging.  It
took me a while to remember that the base change word was DECIMAL and
that DEC had been interpreted as the hex constant I'd usually write as
$0DEC.  Heh.
