Brent,
1. Currently the error log only logs errors while assembling/compiling. Verify
 errors are
shown in the dialog.
2.  Noted.  This is a pretty reasonable request and we've similar responses from
 others.
We'll review this for possible inclusion in next version feature changes.
3.  Good catch.  Again we'll look more closely into this.

As for your wishlist, I think we anticipated this one and have a feature in
 there already
for you.  It's called the "Animate" mode on the Debug>Run menu.  The DOS
 simulator would
update the view screen at every step.  We felt that there are some cases where
 we would
like to speed up the simulator in MPLAB-SIM, so we didn't update the data on
 every step
when you are in the RUN mode (similar to PICMASTER).  But, if you select the
 Animate mode,
the watch windows, SFR's and file registers update at every step.  The trade off
 is speed,
and it's up to you how you want to run it.

I'm out of the office for a week, but hope that this tip helps you out.

Darrel.
