Paul is asking questions that have been asked before.

Ahh. Are you using a MAX232 type of level shifter, or have otherwise taken into account the the hardware port cannot invert the data like serin can?
This could be because he has not linked this thread with other threads you have started relating to your project. I am having difficulty keeping track and am thinking when you write a thread need to giving all the information and assume it is read in isolation.

In this case explain you are using BT links between PC and PIC the BT on the PIC runs at TTL and does not require a MAX232. Also serin works on another pin and Hserout works.
