Does anyone know where I can get (preferably download) a manual for 5.3? For now how do you make a sound on 5.3? "sound 9, [50\5000] doesn’t work on it.

I haven’t been able to find one. Right now I think the only option is to buy the “Programming the PIC Microcontroller with MBasic” book. 
This is probably better under the Atom/Atom Pro forum…
Basic Micro has not been very good at updating documents nor keeping stuff consistent from release to release…
I believe that there may be a summary of some of the changes somewhere, but I know that on some commands including the sound command they changed the timings from milliseconds to microseconds.
So in your case you might want to try:
sound 9, [50000\5000]

Thanks, what about the serout command? I noticed my SSC-32 not responding after the intital data transfer. However, I also may be something else in my program.
Bane
I don’t remember anything different on the Serout commands. The things that I remember were several commands that took timings changed including the sound command.
Most of my experimentation has been with the Pro so there may be other subtle changes with the plain atom…

Has all the timing changed from mill to micro for 5.3?

There are several partial threads that cover some of this, but I don’t know if there is any thread that specifically tells what the differences are betweeen the 2.x and the 5.x versions of the IDE. There should be or better yet there should be a page in their manual that shows what changed in what release… But…
An example of one of the threads that talks about this is:
lynxmotion.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1331
As I think I mentioned earlier, You might get more responses in the Bot Board Atom… Forum than in the General Electronics. Sometimes AcidTech of Basic Micro monitors that forum and answers the questions.
But from the different threads, it says most of the commands have changed… Note these changes have not made their way to the Atom Pros version.
Good Luck
thanks 
Bane
also, has the “servo” command changed any? My rotation is a bit funky
