i'm sorry i've and i'll never work with those Basic Stamps... of course there's something on their website or in your basic stamp programming book. DEBUG must have something like # or DEC or else function to be place before your variable.

If you send the value of a var... let's say your var=149... you'll send the ASCII character 149 wich is ò... this is why you have garbage IMHO.
