thanks for replying - the pic is a 16f873, I had my code working all in page 0 and then it grew to a beastly size and  I needed page 1. I put all the PC comm stuff in page 1 and now she locks up after printing a few garbled characters. I really haven't tshot it yet. Took a look at the PIC book and it was not explicit on paging methods. I have always tried to fit my code in page 0. Now I am migrating to a 16f876 and need to  get my paging facts strait. I always thought they should have a compiler that takes care of this for you other than annoying error messages.
                            thanks in advance ed boggs
