hey shawn,

on the microchip bulletin board, you wrote:

i am presently in the same position you were in (even have target hardware,
etc), and i was wondering if you could give me a few pointers to overcome
help me climb the learning curve (now that you are a seasoned expert :) 

i have tried to familiarize myself with the 16c84 assembly language
(previous experience in c, etc), but i am still confused as to the proper
formatting for assembly (my attempts thus far result in mpalc error
messages)...

i have been trying to write a simple program to turn on and/or blink an led
on portb0 (sort of a pic "hello world" program) and was going to work up to
including use of subroutine calls and implementing the real time counter
and the appnote serial routine...

so, any words o' wisdom or other guidance?

thanks,

jory bell
