I wonder if it's because %BitAnd is looking at the character value of the
first byte of the bit map? If that was the case, it would be examining F7,
and of course the first bit would be '1'. Can anyone confirm/deny?

I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem. You could confirm by inspecting the value of PrimaryBitMap in debug.

I think nicolas hit it on the head. Since I rarely have to bit fiddle I almost always make a binary->hex or hex->binary mistake on my first crack at a problem.

It might help if you describe in words what you're trying to do. Are you trying to test the value of the first bit in PrimaryBitMap?
