Peter introduced this as a method for setting flags and subsequently withdrew it an alternative method of flag handling.  It then became obvious that it had other applications including setting values for PORT() and also for sending binary strings to power logic shift registers (I use the TPIC6A596) and Peter was requested to reintroduce it, which he kindly did.   Quote   New Commands and Functions Command BIT(var%,bitno)=0 or 1  'sets a specific bit (0-63) in an integer variable Function BIT(var%,bitno) 'returns the value of a specific bit (0-63) in a integer variable (0 or 1) Edited 2025-05-16 17:49 by circuit
