Disregard my quote post, slip of the finger.
I tried:
bit load @ 5.0 ;
The compiler seems to be ok with it.
Alternatively I could create a GPIO char that acesses to the GPIO register and access each individual bit?
ie
char GPIO 5 ;
GPIO.0 = 0;
Although I dont think it likes variables to be the same name as registers, but not a big problem.
