Hi.
Just some general remarks...

From your description it sounds as you are not *that*
familiar with the PIC architecture ? Or is it only
"PIC programming" that are new to you ?

Anyway, solving this kind of problems might sometimes
lead to investigating the assembler code generated by the
BASIC compiler and checking that for some "error" (does not
have to be a "compiler bug", just that it does something
wrong in this specific case).

The general tip from *this* list seems to be, write your
first (couple of) programs in assembler and when you feel
comfortable with the PIC architecture, go on and look
at the differenct BASIC, C, JAL, whatever "higher"
level languages.

Debugging problems in BASIC, C, JAL, whatever, often
means reading the generated assembler anyway...
