before you go nuts i thought you'd like to know that

      SUBLW 0x06         ;no just d3-d0

does NOT subtract 6 from the W register.

this really subtracts the W register from 6, not exactly what you wish.

the trick i use to get around this one is to add -6

      ADDLW 0x00-0x06   ; subtract 6 from W
