Sandy,

Yes, that was my point.  Most languages go from right to left (as does Fortran above).  I guess I was trying to state that most languages put the receiving operand on the left of the equals sign, yet the WKPND_B = rbStatus seems to defy that logic (grin).

Jon,

Thus, it looks like the statement is actually a swap (something very common in assemblers).  I never got into compiler design (a magical art in my opinion) so sometimes the syntax of the language is a little mysterious to me.

I'll have to play around with the syntax and see what kind of assembler code it produces (something I should have done before I posted this, sorry).

Anyway, it works great.  Now to gather it together into a tutorial.  

Thanks again.
