    Default High byte lost in HSEROUT a Word variable

    Hi,

    I probably can't see the forest because of the trees on this one, but I can't understand why the high byte of a Word variable is lost during HSEROUT:

    Defined as:
    CheckSum var word

    This loses the high byte, only 1 byte is sent:
    hserout [CheckSum]

    This sends both bytes properly:
    hserout [CheckSum.byte1, CheckSum.byte0]

    Can someone clue me in why this is so? I couldn't find anything in the manual to explain this (PBP 2.60C).

    Thanks!

    Robert
