MEDM 3.1.1 supports the Byte Monitor Object in the UP and the RIGHT
directions, version 3.0.3 supports it in the DOWN and RIGHT directions
(medmByte.c).  In 3.0.3 edit mode, you can choose any of the four directions;
at runtime the invalid direction is overridden with the supported one.  The
current MEDM Manual's 'direction attribute' table says the Byte Object can
use all four directions, although the paragraph for the Byte Monitor
describes the direction limitations.

So a display created under 3.0.3 with a medmByte in the UP direction will
generate a warning (in stdout and MEDM Message Window) under 3.1.1 .  The
appearance/vertical-alignment of the 'bits' are the same for both medm's, so
it's not too disasterous.
