Sounds like the same situation as I have. I use absolute mode too, but a=20
nagging voice (who is no longer active on this list) tells me that I=20
ought to switch to relative mode.

In the course 2012-2013 I will get some more hours, which I plan to fill=20
with using HiTech C and some more use of the peripherals. Maybe we can=20
swap course materials?
