Jon,
Yes you can store variables set to values in an serial eeprom.  At some point
in your program write to the eeprom the variables you want saved, like
"x=value1". Increment to next address, then "x=value2",etc....  Now when you
restart the PIC, or when ever you need to,  read the eeprom and store the
value read into a temp. variable, like "x=eeprom read". Then set "value1=x".
This recalls the value saved into the eeprom. From here you can increment to
the next memory address and recall all your values saved.
I've probably made this sound more confusing than it really is, this is just
how I do it (in C, not asm). I'm somewhat new to PIC's so it would'nt surprise
me if there is a better way to do it !  I use the Xicor 24C02 serial eeprom.

Hope this helps
