Thanks for that link Alain! I missed that thread.

I was so sure that EEPROM only wrote a single byte at a time because of the "Only the least significant byte of numeric values are stored" line from the PBP manual. I never thought that PBP and the PIC itself would do things differently. Silly me.

Time to hit the PIC18F reference manual to get all of the gory details...ugh.

Thanks again,
John
