  /* Shift Word Logical Left one bit */
 
  Possible Instructions
 
  ShlW1, ShlL1

  Description
 
  Performs a left shift by one. It pops the top stack element off of the
  stack, shifts it left by one, and pushes the new value back onto the
  stack.
 
  Pseudocode equivalent:
 
  Push<t>(Pop<t>() << 1);
 
  Simply perform a left shift by one on a variable to generate this
  instruction:
 
  wTest1 <<= 1;            /* generates ShlW1 */
