Trying to turn on pin 5&6 as Outputs on the 14M while retaining pins 8 - 13 as Outputs. I've tried "let dirsc = ..." but anything over 00011111 returns an error "values greater than 65535 are not supported" I don't understand. I thought 11111111 was only 256. Is this a bug in the compiler?

Just playing around, but is portc meant to overlap portb? This is very annoying because any high/low command swaps the control Outputs 8,9 & 10 from port c to b & any high/low portc command swaps the control back again of the 3 overlapping outputs. This seems like ridiculous behaviour. An I confused again?
Please see the 14M appendix at the rear of the manual part 1. It is confusing, but the appendix explains.
There is no such thing as a portb on 14M parts.
You can either use the default PICAXE 'input / output ports' (input on left / output on right) or for greater flexibility use 'portc' to control the bottom 6 pins.
%11111111 is actually 255 ! Your first >65535 error was because you forgot the %
