BP> I'm checking a status bit to see if a character has arrived. In this ca BP> bit 0 of the byte @ &h3ed. Bit 0 is equal to 1 if set, so if I AND the by BP> at this address with 1 and get 1 in return (instead of 0), then I know tha BP> bit 0 is set. Using the below example, if I want to check bit 1 then I wou BP> AND the byte with 2. If I wanted to check bit 2 then I would AND the byte BP> with 4. And so on.. So if I did this: INP(&H3E8) AND 1 I should get a 0 back? Jon --- Renegade v7-09 Beta * Origin: TELESiS BBS 409.721.9414 NEDERLAND, TX (1:3811/118)
