I usually don't ask for help but after two days of fruitless effort I have no
choice.

I'm try to serout from a 16F876 to the screen.  PortB.1 is defined as "so",
and is tied to pion 2 of my DB9 connector.  Pin 5 of the DB9 goes to system
ground.

I wrote the following simple program:

Include "bs2defs.bas"
Define osc 20
N9600 con 16468
so var PortB.1
start
serout2 so, N9600, ["Test One", 10, 13]
serout2 so, 84, ["Test Two", 10, 13]
serout2 so, 16780, ["Test three", 10, 13]
pause 2000
goto start

All I get on the screen is a long line of a "token" characters, all exactly
the same, inspite of the fact there are three different buad modes and three
different messages.  I am using Hyperterminal, which I have used with Stamp
many times.

I do not want to program the 876, I just want to read out the data is it
accumulating.

Am I overlooking something fundamental ?
