Thanks Harold :) :)  Copy/pasted and it worked fine.

Eventually was going to get to segregating out the individual bits with 
AND/OR sort of action. At this point just am happy the hardware is 
working OK. Don't know why what I had doesn't work though, all the PORTB 
pins are pulled high, which I verified both with a DMM and logic probe. 
Guess, I'll have to dig into the ASM. Sure would seem that the port 
reports what it is in reading and the boolean would happen. Oh, I added 
two "0" to make the binary 8 bits. Thanks again. :)
