SERVO OFF Syntax error

hippy - I made a digital clock with 4 large (2.5") 7-segment readouts. The difference in this clock is that each digit is advanced by pressing a mico-switch. I have one servo which turns right to advance the minutes-units and it turns left to advance the minutes-tens. There's another servo which does the same for the hours. When the time isn't advancing then the servo sit between the switches.
Everything works except there is a jitter in the servos. Since one servo only moves once a minute, and the other one once an hour, I thought I'd turn them off between use to remove the jitter.
I'm using the servopos command to reposition the servos. I think the jitter is because I have an interrupt routine which is triggered 60 times/second - timing for the clock.
The servos are on a seperate regulated power source and I have the proper capacitor across the picaxe.
The clock works the way it is but the jitter is a little annoying.

Have you tried manually generating the servo pulse with pulsout and the appropriate pause? You only need 3 different pulsout conditions - left position, right position, and centered.
Another possibility is to forego the servo altogether and use a couple of TeamDelta r/c signal switches.
