Thanks LinkMtech and eggman (sounds like a TV show in the making!). I'll try your comments today.
Happy new year to both of you.

Thanks gents, both option worked like a charm.
Cheers!

OK, anthor problem...
I'm trying to run an RC servo from a PIC12F683. I'm using pin 0 as output and pin 1 as input (from receiver)
As long as there is a signal from pin 1, the PULSOUT will output the PULSIN value. When no signal is present (PULSIN=0) then PULSOUT should go to a failsafe value.
Situation: When the signal is present, the PULSOUT sends the PULSIN value, but when PULSIN = 0, the PULSOUT does send the proper value, but in 1/2 second intervals (it pulses the value about every 0.5 sec). I can't figure out why!!!
here's the code:
oSCCON = %01100000 ' Ocs set to 4 MHz
TRISIO = %00000000 ' Set all ports to outputs, in this example
CMCON0 = 7 ' Analog comparators off
ANSEL = 0 ' Analog select set to digital, pg 69 data
ADCON0 = 0 ' A/D turned OFF, pg 68 of data
cont var word
failsafe var word
posoutput var word
posinput var word
usefailsafe var byte
pausetime var word
low gpio.0
low gpio.1
low gpio.2
low gpio.3
failsafe=80
pausetime=10
START:
;pulsout portb.4, failsafe
;pause 50
;goto start
GETSIGNAL:
pulsin gpio.1,1,posoutput
if posoutput=0 then goto runfailsafe
goto runnormal
runfailsafe:
pulsout gpio.0, failsafe
pause pausetime
goto getsignal
runnormal:
pulsout gpio.0, posoutput
pause pausetime
goto getsignal

I have one more...
I want to write the PULSIN value to the memory on the 12F683 (and have it stored even when the power is off) and recall it in the event there is no PULSIN signal.
What are the proper commands to do this?
(I assume write and read)
I.e.
WRITE 5, failsafe
READ 5, failsafe
...but first I have to get the servo thing working!!

This may help with your data storage.
The below code is for a counter, sort of like an odometer. It saves the value to EEPROM at each hit of a switch. When the device is turned on the EEPROM is read and the values placed back into a variable for continued use. Also has the ability to reset the stored values back to zero at start up.
Pick through it and see if it helps.

Timing out
I found that PULSIN will time out while you're waiting for something to happen then was clued in on WHILE:WEND.
So try this command set with something like:
It comes in handy for something like this.Code:WHILE GPIO.1 = 0 ' Repeat this loop while there is no signal pulsout gpio.0, failsafe pause pausetime WEND

Thanks LinkMTech and Mackrackit:
Both worked. FYI, I fly RC planes and have recently gained interest in the PIC stuff, mostly with the 12F683 due to its size. I'm learning this stuff...slowly (but wow, has it got potential!).
I have a couple more questions hopefully you can help me with.
1. having some issues simply running LED's on ports other than gpio.0 and 1. I'm not sure if I need to assign them, change them??? When trying, I see they have a faint glow???
2. When using GPIO.4 and an input to store a pulsin value, the program works, but if I use GPIO.3 it doesn't. I can't figure that one out.
Thanks again gents.
John.
