Jon,
  No you cannot define word variables. Only arrays.
  The way around this is to define some global WORD variables, then save their value at the beginning of the subroutine and restore the value at the end of the subroutine.
  You need to do the same thing to get a "normal" byte variable to use as an array index.


tempW VAR WORD ' Global variable

SUB MySub
  saveTempW  VAR BYTE (2)

  'Save value of tempW
  saveTempW(0) = tempW_LSB
  saveTempW(1) = tempW_MSB

  FOR tempW = 0 TO 1000
  NEXT

  ' Restore value of tempW
  tempW_LSB = saveTempW(0)
  tempW_MSB =saveTempW(1)
  ENDSUB
