Paul:
Thanks for "chiming in" with a solution. I just want to make sure I understand what your code is trying to do so I can learn from it. I suspected there was a way to shoehorn this idea into PBP.
Code:
Relay[1] = 14  'RB6  is 14 bits offset from RA0
Relay[2] = 20  'RC4  is 20 bits offset from RA0
Relay[3] = 26  'RD2  is 26 bits offset from RA0
This array is establishing an offset from bit.0 on PORTA. I assume that most pics have PORTA-PORTX at consecutive regiester addresses (I only have a couple of datasheets to reference, but that's what I see)

Code:
for i = 1 to 3
     x = relay[i]
     porta.0[x]=1
     PAUSE 1000
     porta.0[x]=0
     PAUSE 300
next i
With the Relay[] array containing the correct offets, one can now use that with porta.0[x] to select the desire bit. Since porta.0 points to a bit, the offset [x] is in bits as well.
Did miss this "feature" in the PBP manual? Can I extend this idea further in that the inclusion of [X] to any reference that points to a register will actually cause an offset reference in accordance to the base reference. ( ie, if it was a word variable that [x] was added to, [x] would actually reference a register x*2 bytes offset?).
