One more thing I just noticed about your PBASIC code.
The line of code below will always leave Variable unchanged (even if Variable='-1')
Variable = Variable MIN 0
This is because in 16 bit unsigned math, (A MIN 0) is ALWAY equal to A. There is nothing less than 0 in unsigned math.
One way of getting around this is to do the following:
Variable = $8000 + Variable MIN $8000 - $8000
Now if Variable='-1' before the statement it will equal 0 after.
This is a very important lesson to learn when working with PBASIC.
