Binary integer settings can be controlled via these system variables:

Bits := x, where 1≤x≤64, sets the binary integer word size.
Signed := 0 for unsigned (default)
Signed := 1 for signed
Base := 0 for binary
Base := 1 for octal
Base := 2 for decimal
Base := 3 for hexadecimal (default)

N.B. All of the above info is in the built-in Help system. Press Vars, [Home], Settings, Integer, then press Help after highlighting Base or Bits or Signed.
