18f14k22 portb.5 always high using hserout

Thanks

I found a "work-around" for this - I needed one output to pulse an LED as a "heart-beat", so I changed that to PORTB.5.
In the program I change TRISB.5 from a 0 to 1 and back to a 0 to flash the LED. Therefore freed up the other output. From what I see it has no other effect on the program.

Another approach is to enable/disable the hardware port in your program. For the 16f1826 I use RCSTA.7 = 0 to disable the port when I'm done using it.
