from the gambas-help decimal to hex

decimal to hex
------------
PRINT Hex$(1972)
=> 7B4
PRINT Hex$(1972, 8)
=> 000007B4

Reverse hex o decimal
-------------------
DIM sHex AS String
sHex= "&H" & "A2" & "&" '<-- A2 is you hex string
PRINT "Val('&HA2&')=", Val(sHex)

Any way Gambas knows &HA1& for hexadecimal presentation
