It also makes elapsed time calculations much simpler. Thanks!

The word size is mostly just a display setting, though I believe it may affect the behavior of shift/rotate operations, and interpretation of negative numbers.

Contrast this with the 16C, where numbers are only stored and manipulated with as many bits as specified.
