Hi there...I'm new to programming the pics and I've been having problems
sending a single byte of data through the USART.  I can send data but I
cannot stop it.  Here is the code I've been using -->

 LIST   P=PIC17C43
 #INCLUDE <P17C43.INC>





  ORG 0
  MOVLW 0X4
  MOVWF SPBRG
  BCF TXSTA , SYNC
  BSF RCSTA , SPEN
  MOVLW 0X41
  MOVWF TXREG
  BSF TXSTA , TXEN
  nop
  nop
  BCF TXSTA ,TXEN
  GOTO $

  END


I just want to send a single byte but this code will send 0X41 continuously
..I have tried polling TXIF and TRMT to see when the TXREG and TSR is empty
and then clearing TXSTA but that still does not do what I want

Can someone give me an example  of how to send a single byte of data.

Thanks in advance

Regards
