The only thing different about SX/B SEROUT is that it just accepts a single character.  That's easy to adjust for, though, which is exactly what happens on the inside of the BASIC Stamp.  I always put SEROUT into a subroutine so that it just gets compiled once, like this:

[code]TX_BYTE:
  tmpB1 = __PARAM1
  SEROUT TX, Baud, tmpB1
  RETURN[/code]

Then I have another subroutine like this to send strings (a literal string or DATA label with a z-string is passed):

[code]TX_STR:
  tmpW1 = __WPARAM12
  DO
    READINC tmpW1, tmpB1
    IF tmpB1 = 0 THEN EXIT
    TX_BYTE tmpB1
  LOOP
  RETURN[/code]

This is pretty simple code, and with a fast oscillator you can serial data at incredibly fast rates (I routinely use 115.2K).
