I apologize for the ambiguity of my last message. What I intended was that all of my problems, jumbles on the display and also incorrect counting were all rectified. This appears to be a good example of needing to pull back from a project sometimes to get a fresh start. Indeed, I don't think I would have seen the problem with the display not displaying correct. It never occured to me that I had selected the wrong logic levels on the display. I was thoroughly convinced that the command using the 84 instead of 16468 was correct. But as for it counting wrong I overlooked that the numbers were in BCD. The initial problem had me so consumed I overlooked that one little fact. Thank you for taking your time to answer what to many is such a simple problem it's not worth their time. It was extremely frustrating.
Again thanks.
