I realize that it is 2 bytes. I just didn't expect the compiler to see it as one byte.

hserout [MyWord]
will only send the lowbyte

hserout [#MyWord]
Will send upto 5 bytes depending on value

hserout ["Hello"]
Will send 5 bytes.

The first line isn't so obvious, and one that I've seen many people try, and fail on this message board. It always results in them sending text instead.
