For thoes interested, I was able to avoid the lockup by adding a label after the breaking routine and having said routine goto that label instead of returning. Feels kinda kludgy to me, but are workarounds like this common place? If so, I don't feel so bad about doing it Thanks, Tim -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
