For just holding onto values you can use a two-byte array like a word and move data back and forth between the array and Word variables.  For example, you could define these variables:

[code]gWord1          VAR     Word                    ' part of globals
gWord2          VAR     Word

wTest           VAR     Byte (2)                ' in banked array
 wTest_LSB      VAR     wTest(0)
 wTest_MSB      VAR     wTest(1)[/code]
... and then do this:

[code]Start:
  gWord1 = 3546
  gWord2 = 0

  wTest = gWord1                                ' SX/B copies both bytes
  gWord2 = wTest

  WATCH wTest, 16, udec
  BREAK

  ' use Debug --> Run

Main:
  GOTO Main[/code]
