Hello again Heinz,
        Thanks for the response, and thank you again for that clever OPTION
register fix a couple of years ago.

        I've used the Deck system and built the programmer. The programmer
works great, by the way. But this kind of misses the point. Take up
hypercard, modify the Francis Deck program: why venture farther into that
tangled woodland as twilight sets in? The object is to advance the robot
project, not to regress to making the tools to advance the project. I've
already been burned by spending hundreds of hours on a robot design, only
to have the whole thing go down the drain ( mechanical design, electronics,
PIC code ) because my supplier of surplus stepper driven actuators went out
of business. NO MAS! Ditto on trying to trick MacPIC into handling the new
parts.
