OK I have an option (possibly ?)

As the GLCD driver and the simple code likes the HSEROUT command lets look at using SEROUT for the communications with the PC application...Before I try this can anyone confirm if this will work with the serial option

Code:
    IF RCIF=1 THEN GOSUB coms                   ; Check to see if PC application connected
I'm assuming that it's looking at the hardware port on the PIC ??
