Ha! You're dead right. You can still do it if you manipulate the FSR's MSB
and the IRP bit if required. It depends on which RAM banks you want to use.
Just do the fiddling where I but the bank1 & bank0 codes. I've previously
done what Al said & used 2 pointers before. (located in the high 16 bytes)
