I am sorry to say the thread http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=6444 got me even more confused and I ended up with just a bunch more questions. However, the good news is that it made me search for more information. I ended up looking at this thread: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3251 and on to Darrel Taylors Wesite: http://darreltaylor.com/DT_INTS-18/home.html

So for others New to this and struggling with concept of interrupts my advice would be to check these two links out. I found it well documented and easier to understand than a bunch of other stuff I had struggled with for several nights. It certainly helped me heaps. My personal thanks goes out to Darrel Taylor

Well, they say that one of the best definitions for an interrupt is a telephone. If the phone's ringer was to be replaced with a LED -- you'd have to constantly glance at it once in a while to see if someone was calling you. Arguably, you'd never get any work done (certainly not as much) So, I guess this is comparable to continuously polling an input on a PIC. Here's a thought; could something be used to replace the ringer having an equal or better interrupt effect?

Newbus Interruptus

There once was a newbie, that couldn't Interrupt.
Can't blame him, it's a hard thing to do.

He knows that he must, and with every thrust
his results have been proven un-true.

It's turmoil at home.
The thoughts of the Cost.
and the sleepless nights ahead.

He searches the forum,
and ignores the decorum, until his eyes were red.

He searches some more, it's really a bore,
and happens across a new thread.

It promises Interrupts, and sanity,
without all of the dread.

He tries with success,
and ceases distress,
and is ready to mount the new task.

Ha, and it worked.
