Slip,

Remember that SX/B is a "compile in place" compiler, so if you encapsulate "big" instructions (things like PAUSE, SEROUT, SERIN, etc.) into subroutines and functions you'll save a lot of space.  Since delays are a part of nearly every program I always have this subroutine in my code:

[code]
' Use: DELAY_MS msecs

DELAY_MS:
  IF __PARAMCNT = 1 THEN
    tmpW1 = __PARAM1                            ' save byte value
  ELSE
    tmpW1 = __WPARAM12                          ' save word value
  ENDIF
  PAUSE tmpW1 
  RETURN
[/code]

By using the __PARAMCNT variable (set by the compiler before the call) the subroutine can tell adjust for a byte or word being sent, and then do the PAUSE.
