I would be grateful if anyone could answer this question. Is it
possible to represent a number or an array in a true unsigned
16 bit way?

It would be nice to do this in IDL rather than C/C++ or Fortran
or another language.

The problem arises from reading U16 bit words from a cdrom and
placing the data into an array. Due to the way IDL represents
integer words, anything greater than 7FFF(hex) gets its bits
shifted around.
