Ah yes, I have my residence in NoobieVille and am traversing the road to dangerous and wild lands more frequently than I am comfortable with. He He..

I knew it had to be simple. So, basically, the whole port is just assigned to a variable.

....of course....

Overthinking the obvious I was!

If I wanted 16 bits, and thus a word variable, would I simply add them together?
PortValue VAR WORD
PortValue = PortB + PortC ???

Thank you for your reply. Now I can try things I REALLY don't understand. "Heading deep into the mountain canyon."
