Hi Ralph,

Actually I did read quite a bit before coming to the site and forums for help.

The less comprehensive the books the more room for interpetation.
Does:

DEFINE BUTTON_PAUSE 10 mean that only 10 ms is the acceptable period.

DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 20h mean that 24h is an illegal number.

DEFINE OSC 4 mean that 3(3.58) 4 8 10 12 16 20 24 25 32 33 40 are the only acceptable numbers.

All of these are from the appendix you mention.

Point of this is until you know the tools or the manual tells you, you really won't know if the tool calculates the intervals from the number you enter or looks it up from a table, or something else completely. Or can only handle integers for that matter.
I do appreciate the help though.

Best Regards,
Bobby

in some things the Manual is not very clear.

The OSC Table is mentioned in Section 5.51 as well without clearly telling you these values are the only ones to be used, but it refers to the "Section on Speed".

and
Section 7.1 "How fast is fast enough" clearly says:

The acceptable oscillator definitions are...
