I know RTFM, but why?

Jumper,
Why not solve your problem by always using the STR modifier? For a single word, just use something like:

a var word[8]
I2CWRITE datapin,clockpin,control,(address),[STR a\1]
.....
I2CREAD datapin,clockpin,control,(address),[STR a\1]

For X Words, use:

a var word[8]
I2CWRITE datapin,clockpin,control,(address),[STR a\X]
.....
I2CREAD datapin,clockpin,control,(address),[STR a\X]

This should keep you from having to think about which order the bytes are stored in.

It seems to be a good idea as you point out to always use the STR function. Everybody sais that PbP has few bugs, I would like to call this a bug but since the manual mentions that the I2C command will return different data compared how variables are usually stored it has to be a feature :-)

Thanks for taking time to think about this and if anyone ever find a reson why PBP has decided to go this way I still would like to know.
