hey mackrackit & others

i changed type to byte with the same results.

when array is of type word, and using my debugger i see the element's value as of a word type having 16 bits. so the issue isn't with the array elements. i thinking it is the hserout performing as it is designed to do.

what i'm seeing is the function hserout, and i assume the software version, serout, is sending values up to dec 255 then rolls back to dec 0 and starts the low bits all over again.

going to try some things ... back soon ...

thx
