This is really easy to do:

==Shift Left==
[[code format="vbnet"]]
function shiftLeft(bitsValue)
    shiftLeft = bitsValue * 2
end function
[[code]]

==Shift Right==
[[code format="vbnet"]]
function shiftRight(bitsValue)
    shiftRight = int(bitsValue / 2)
end function 
[[code]]

==Remove High Bit==
If you want to remove the high bit when shifting left, just write a function for that, like so:

[[code format="vbnet"]]
function shiftByteLeft(bitsValue)
    shiftByteLeft = 255 and (bitsValue * 2)
end function 
[[code]]

Get the idea? :)
