OR destination,source

          Logic:    destination . destination OR source

    OR performs a bit-by-bit logical inclusive OR operation on its
    operands and returns the result to destination.  The operands may be
    words or bytes.

                   Destination  Source    Result
                        0         0         0
                        0         1         1
                        1         0         1
                        1         1         1

    OR sets each bit of the result to 1 if either or both of the
    corresponding bits of the operands are 1.
