Greetings ...
there’s quite a bit going on in the picture - but there should be enough to get you going ...
if this doesn’t help, post again with more details about your setup ...

Ron,
Does the port (channel 0) have to be configured as user(ASCII)? Or as you posted it?

The ASCII Write instruction works in both System and User modes.
Many other ASCII serial port instructions, including AWA, ARL, ACB, etc. require the User mode features or the input buffer, so they do require the port be in User mode.

from Mickey:
as Ken said, either should work ... I didn't go into any real detail - just enough to show that "yes, it CAN be done" ... it looked like the OP just wanted a "getting started" setup ... hopefully this will do the trick ... it worked fine in the lab - and only took a few minutes to get going ...
