Can anyone point me to the documentation for the built in variables, in particular RS232_ERRORS? I searched the Forum, FAQ, Manual, .LST, and .H files and found bits & pieces, but nothing complete.

Thanks

It's explained in the manual and the Help file.
However, CCS has written the explanation in short hand,
and it may be difficult to interpret. So I've re-written it below:

Explanation of the RS232_ERRORS variable:

When the hardware UART is specified by #use rs232():
• RS232_ERRORS is used only by the getc() function.
• RS232_ERRORS is a copy of the RCSTA register except
that Bit 0 is used to indicate a parity error.
