The #define seems to work fine as far as I can tell. The compiler does 
not error on the define.
As far as I understand the error, it suggests that lmot_dir should have 
an operand similar to the way
BCLR PORTE,#0 describes clearing porte bit 0 with the #0 indicating the 
bit position.
I will try your suggestion (bclr.b or bcf) to see if it works. Will post 
with the results in a few minutes.
