Tony,

I'll be happy to send you a copy of my RS232 code when it's done, however,
I'm doing some abnormal stuff like sending bits to a shift register
between bit's, etc....probably confusing and harder to extract what you
need.

For really straightforward RS232 examples with documentation, go to
Parallax's ftp site:  ftp://parallaxinc.com and get:

/pub/acrobat/picapps.pdf  (pdf format.  the reader is there too, if you
need it)

Also get:
/pub/parallax/readme.txt

The app's use their dialect of assembler and the instruction-translation
(that's in the readme file) can be used to convert to standard
instructions which is very simple.  Most of their instructions convert to
1 or 2 Microchip instructions.  Very easy.  Very good examples.  Let me
know if you still need help.

Scott
