Steve,
All the code and text above the <font color=blue><b>blue text, is the other guys</font color></b> I was just trying to get explanation as to why the high port command, Thank you for the explanation, it will help my applications later. <b>Interestingly enough I tried out debug last night for the first time!</b> I have never used internal osc. on a project, and taking your warnings I likely will never use it to serial communicate. Frankly, what is training? Benefitting from the experience of others. Albert Einstein said," all knowlege is trial and error ". Very interesting to learn about pic's ability to wait for internal osc to stabalize.

OSCCON=$60                  ' Internal OSC=4MHZ
WHILE OSCCON.2=0 : WEND     ' wait until frequency is stable

Thank You again
JS

I've decided to heed your advice and use an external oscillator. Works great now without having to put in timing delays and such.
