@ Melanie

you are right, the example compiles ok

but what MICOCALI is saying is also correct.

I have just tried it with:
-----------------------------
DEFINE LOADER_USED 1
DEFINE OSC 20

DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h
DEFINE HSER_BAUD 9600
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1
DEFINE HSER_EVEN 1
DEFINE HSER_BITS 9

Loop:

Hserout ["Test: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"]
Pause 1000
goto loop

END
-----------------------------
