David, Well, as far as I could tell, when I tried to do the example I had in mind (beepit), I could not do that, since the extra junk in the C function clobbered the setup. Putting the asm stuff into the C function did the trick. I like your statement that starts 'if you want portable code…'. Frankly, I don't, and have never wanted it badly enough to go one inch out of my way to attain that goal. I really don't see the value of it in my situation. -larry
