-- [ From: Peter L. Taylor * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] --

I'm using a 16c74 to gather data off of some sensors I've attached to it.
Currently, the PIC will only gather the data when it receives a command from
a PC that is hooked to the serial port.

Up until now, I have been simulating with MPSIM to just make sure the PIC is
doing what I thought I programed it to do.  In MPSIM to simulate a USART
receive, I set the contents of the RCREG and then set PIR<5> to simulate a
receive interrupt.  This works fine. To simulate a transmission interrupt, I
just set PIR<4>.

Now I am trying to simulate the same program in the new MPLAB-SIM 3.01.  It
will let me change the RCREG, but I can't set PIR<5>, to simulate my serial
reception.  For transmission, MPLAB-SIM won't let me set PIR<4>.

What is the correct procedure to simulate USART transmission and reception
with the new MPLAB-SIM?

(No, I haven't been to the seminar, yet.  It will be in Salt Lake at the end
of June, and I plan on going, but would like to start using MPLAB-SIM now
and not wait until the end of June.)
