All,
      hope this hasn't come to you twice - looks like the first
bounced.

Just this week started playing with 16C84 and am now starting my
first project, a Morse code tutor. Guess what - having decided on
this project  I suddenly realise I need one of those random number
generators (generate an integer between 0 and N where N is in a
file) that I discarded from PICLIST last week :-(  Would some kind
soul please send direct to my reader thanks.

Does Microchip have a European mirror - seems very slooooow to
download docs.

Since I have no docs here is the dumb newby question. Code to date
just flashes 'HELLO WORLD' in Morse on a LED. All works OK but have a
problem with MPLAB. Tables using RETLW work OK but when I CALL a
subroutine I seem to stop single stepping at the RETURN. Do I have to
set something up in MPLAB for CALL/RETURN single stepping to work OK?
All works fine when loaded into the 16C84 so just makes debugging
harder. Also how does MPLAB cope with SLEEP (WDT) in single step. Do
I have to go clear timers manually (this may be the problem as the
SLEEP is immediately prior to the RETURN but  MPLAB is highlighting
the RETURN instruction when it halts).

Apologies if that is a really dumb question - I guess I'm applying
software debugger thinking to a simulator. Hopefully I'll get the
docs downloaded today.
