       Type: Variable
   Category: Text
    Summary: A constant used when printing large numbers in BPRNT
  Deep dive: Printing decimal numbers
    Context: See this variable in context in the source code
 References: This variable is used as follows:
             * BPRNT uses TENS


 Contains the four low bytes of the value 100,000,000,000 (100 billion).

 The maximum number of digits that we can print with the BPRNT routine is 11,
 so the biggest number we can print is 99,999,999,999. This maximum number
 plus 1 is 100,000,000,000, which in hexadecimal is:

   17 48 76 E8 00

 The TENS variable contains the lowest four bytes in this number, with the
 most significant byte first, i.e. 48 76 E8 00. This value is used in the
 BPRNT routine when working out which decimal digits to print when printing a
 number.
