Greetings:

I have done a forum search on this topic...can't seem to find anything. And it SEEMS so simple too. confused.gif

I need to count beyond 65535 using a simple count routine. Count routine is no prob. Using a BS2 on the HOMEWORK board.

How can I do this? I'm not sure I understand how the "**" operator can help me with this (if, indeed, it can).

I am sending the result to an LCD display....not using the value in any calculations.

Thanks....tsfg

    Thank you Bruce...works like a champ, although with one caveat: starting number must be less then 10000. Not a problem for my app though.

    Thanks a lot...tsfg
