Thanx to everybody who replied (and so quickly too).  I was pretty sure that
the answer would be that there's a path that will allow the current to flow,
but I just thought I'd ask as well.

As for running a PIC from the Input Lines...  Hmmmm....  That could be an
interesting thing to remember for an application some time.
