VFP represents hexidecimal notation in constants by prefixing with 0x; for example:

? ox2E3 && prints out 739

In your case, Out(0x2E3,128) would send 128 (0x80) out port 0x2E3 (739 decimal). To read from port ox2E0, you'd say Inp(0x2E0).

Numbers by default are displayed in decimal notation. To display a number in hexidecimal format, use the TRANSFORM() function with the '@0' argument for formatting. For example, to display 739 in hexidecimal notation:

? TRANSFORM(739,'@0) && prints 0x000002E3
