Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I did as you said and added the following...
Code:
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 129 ' 9600 Baud @ 0.16%
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically
It appears the "DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically" line did it, as now everything works as expected.

Thank you,

Rodney
