Although you should not use the TRIS instructions, you still need
to program the port pin as an output bit. You do this on the 14 bit
chips by writing to the corresponding register in bank 1 of the RAM.
This requires you to set the appropriate bit in the status register
before doing the write.

For example:

        bsf     3,5             ;set the RP0 bit to select bank1
        clrf    portb           ;reset all the DDR bits
        bcf     3,5             ;reselect bank 0

This will set ALL the bits of portb to be outputs.
