    One step further..
    Code:
    Z VAR WORD
A VAR Z.LOWBYTE
B VAR BYTE
C VAR Z.HIGHBYTE
D VAR BYTE

'
'    Some other code where you set A, B, C & D BYTE variables
'

Z.HIGHBYTE = Z.HIGHBYTE | (D<<4)
Z.LOWBYTE = Z.LOWBYTE | (B<<4)
' Now you have everything in Z... easy huh?
    or.. yet another
    Code:
    Z = Z | (B<<4) | (D<<12)
    Enjoy

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
