The __config directive it generates the bit pattern for the configuration
you specified, and places it in the memory location it should go; for the
16c84 that would be 2007h.  That means, that writing the line:
        __config  _xt_osc & _wdt_off
is just as writing
        org 2007
        dw      _xt_osc & _wdt_off
except that the first one won't generate a warning in mpasm
