Need help with write function

[Archilochus]

Hi Chris,
Maybe one of the pros will add some more answers, but for now...

if for example I just say "flash var byte," does the PIC automatically recognize flash as a zero?

PBP does not initialize RAM variables to any value, and on power up the RAM variables will contain an unknown value. You can use the CLEAR command to clear all RAM variables to 0, or just set each variable to 0 manually: flash=0

After any power up, you'll need to READ your saved settings from EEPROM to restore your user selections.

Keep in mind the EEPROM has a limited number of write/erase cycles (check data sheet for details).
