Nige,
 

The "analog" variable is a single byte, so it can only hold values from 0 to 255.  Also, the #1000 constant is truncated to a single-byte value, which is why the basic compiler is issuing the warning.

 

You would need a 2-byte value to be able to count to 6000.  I'm not familiar with the count routine, so I don't know if it can handle 2-byte values.  You could look at the assembly code generated by the count routine and adapt it to your specific needs.  Instead of using a binary counter you could implement a 4-digit BCD counter.  This would eliminate the need for dividing by 1000, 100 and 10.
