This merges the upper 6 bits of port A with the lower 2 bits of port B,
which is opposite of your description.  It also leaves the final value in
TEMP, not W, although that may be what you wanted.  Otherwise this is
correct assuming TEMP is in the same bank as PORTA and PORTB, and that the
bank is set correctly before this code segment.
