Is this just to test the serial comm ? Sholdn't the PIC do
something with the recevied data ?

What exactly does "fairly new" meen in this context ? Have yo been
using PIC's at all before ? What "development board" ?

Well, we don't know at this time if we should start with realy
basic PIC-stuff (if you're a complete PIC beginner), or if it's
just the serial stuff you have problems with. You must be
*much* more specific in your questions when asking. What is it
that doesn't work ? Any error messages ? What data sheets have you
been reading ? And what is it in them that was unclear or that
you didn't understand ?
