Figured it out!  First I got mplab to behave properly. The
problem with the "run to here" thing appears to have been caused
because I had two files with the same name. One was my projects
.asm file, and one was a #include file. Different paths. Same
name. After I changed the name of the #include file the mplab
problems went away.

But my circuit still didn't work. The software was perfect tho.
After much experimenting, I noticed that it appeared to be
reseting. Apparently because of a dirty power supply. Added a
small cap between +5v and 0v, and the whole thing works now.

I had no idea a pic and a few 7 segment displays could dirty a
power supply so badly that it reset itself.
