Base never seems to change ???

Why when I execute a base changing word like HEX, or OCTAL, the number
stored at BASE never changes from 10?

The actual system interpretation of the base does change however as
evidenced by the TOS changing from 11 to B when I execute the word HEX after
entering a TOS of 11 under the base of DECIMAL.

I am checking the BASE value thusly:

BASE 1 DUMP

And it lists the address of BASE and the value 10.

Thanks!
