How to enter the initial starting value into eeprom for a word
variable?

For example, suppose the variable is:

VITtime var word

it will be read from eeprom in 2 bytes, say:
read 0, VITtime.byte0
read 1, VITtime.byte1

Suppose I want the initially programmed numerical value in eeprom to be 365 (a word size number)
I usually use the EEPROM statement to enter initial numbers. Should it be:

EEPROM [5,36,....... .....]
or
EEPROM [65,3,.............]
or
EEPROM [365,.............]

or what?
