multism 10.0 simulation bug? -- or -- is this a newbee user error?

loaded sample schema: "decadeCounterUserLoad.ms10"
 
set the initial counter (lower counter display) to "4d", and the up/down switch to count "up"...
 
then when releasing the "load" switch... the counter incorrectly counts from "40, 41, 42..."  instead of "4d, 4e, 4f..."
 
go figure...

You are correct in your observation. The circuit is working properly. The 74LS190N is a BCD Counter meaning that it will only count from 0-9. If you try to load it with a value of 9 or higher then it resets back to zero on the next clock pulse. This is why it is counting from 40 instead of 4D.

I hope this helps.
