Dennis,

There is more than one way to do that but you asked for the logical way:

On a mildly relevant track: not sure how widely known this is so I'll present a challenge: What are the three logical instructions that, when executed in order, will cause the values of A and B to be swapped, without need of a work area?

trying to use XORSTR?
