Hi, Ward

I do think you're a beginner ... so, ...

1) only the 18F,24,33 and 32 series processors have the HARDWARE multiplication aboard ...

2) You are on a PICBASIC PRO Forum ... as the Compiler name states ... it's BASIC language and not assembler ...

From 1) you understand the 10,12 and 16 series only can use SOFTWARE multiplication ...

From 2) that you are not in the best place to get infos about assembler. I'd recommend you to join the MICROCHIP forums that mainly deal with assembler language.

As a bonus, I greatly encourage you to read and Download THIS :

That might help you to understand what you try to play with ...
