Hey Rachelle,
When you execute the RCLF command you get a list of 2 "binary" integers. The 1st one is the state of the system flags, the 2nd is the user flags. They are supposed to be a direct mapping of the flag settings, 1 if the flag is set, 0 if not, with flag -1 (or 1, respectively) being the least significant (rightmost) digit. To see these integers as only 1's & 0's, do MTH -> BASE -> BIN. That will switch your display from the HEX mode you apparently have it in.
Unlike the flag browser, all of the flags are represented, so you can see, for instance, the state of flag 4 or 5 etc. Some of the settings need more than one bit, the 3 way toggle between RECT, CYLIN, & SPHERE is one of them, if I recall correctly.
If you do a RCLF and then store the list under a name such as MYFLAGS, you can then recall the list to the stack and do a STOF to restore the state of the flags. You can keep a copy of your favorite flag settings in MYFLAGS in case you want to experiment with the flag settings and then return to where you were before you made any changes.
The flags should be the same if you're in user mode except for the flag that sets the user mode.
Hope that helps
