wow melanie, how nice it is to see a photo of you after all this time. You look rather excellent. A good photographer and a good subject always tends to impress others....
I find the syntax you came up with to be very hard to fix in my mind. You are stepping through the array on lowbytes of half words...Mind you if it works...! My brain would never come up with such syntax....
Do you think that serin in the same manner will work?

For CounterA=0 to 23
Serin porte.0,t9600,MyWordArray.Lowbyte(CounterA)
Next CounterA

could it possibly transfer the array keeping the right elements in order.

Could you throw me a single line of how you would code your serout with all the accoutrements that you spoke of.

Mister E...thanxs...i am in montreal as well.....
