I've been experimenting with the pic for about a month or so.  Currently I
am trying to set up serial communications with a pc at 9600bps.  I have been
successful in sending more the one byte of data to the pic and having it
store the data into eeprom.  I'm not happy with the way I had to write the
code.  The way I have it set up now is when you send the first byte of data
to the pic it puts it into a register for use as a counter.  The first byte
tells the pic how many more bytes are coming.  When it recieves the
following bytes it stores them into memory.  I had to use several goto and
subroutines in order to get this to work, I have a seperate routine for
every byte location.  I have it set up so it can recieve a maximum of 8
bytes.  I would like to have one routine for the whole job.

I was wondering if there is a way to have a loop where the data location to
store the data is incremented so that I can shorten my code.

I guess for starters what I would want to do is clear an area of my Data
Memory.  I want to specify the number of bytes to clear and where to start.
If I had a loop to do that I could probably use the same concept for storing
data into memory.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks, Jamey
