Hello,
Why are there four different status registers and how do I know which one to check?
Thanks,
mle

There is only one Status register, but it is accessible in all 4 banks. Within a C program, use #byte STATUS = 0x03 to declare the Status register and then access is as you would any other variable (int). You do not need to deal with bank switching, the compiler will handle that.
