A less Cumbersome way of manipulating several LEDS?

[HankMcSpank]

Sorry, I misunderstood that. I thought you wanted one on when the other was off. I guess I kind of took that for granted because I can't really see the point in using more than one pin. Just wire the LEDs in parallel or, which is probably better, in series. Depends on the powersupply voltage and forward voltage drop of the particular LED.

Are these some high power blue LEDs? High current and high Vf? Is that the reason you need one pin for each LED? Please tell me what I'm missing :-)

Yes, I'm using high brightness blue leds (fwd voltage 3.2V, my PSU is 4V) in parallel drawing about 20mA, therefore two = 40ma...too much for one PIC pin...hence wanting to treat two pins as one virtual pin in code. But it's no big deal....thought I'd ask - and as ever there is something that exists that can be brought into play, except that I need to control the pin on/off via TRISC to avoid clicking so I can't personally use it.
