Ah, I see now.  You're working in cycles rather than sub-cycles.  In some 
ways it might be more manageable to add another sub-cycle rather than a 
complete short cycle - I'm finding that I'm getting very large numbers of 
cycles otherwise after multiplying (which btw also behaves in SUS-fashion 
when INS=SUS), so I need to reset INS=RPL and end Multiply with REC.
