Greetings:

I'm using a 16C84.  I am using pins 1-7 as output and pin 0 as input, for
the INT interrupt.

My question:    If I write to PORTB as a whole, will I cause an INT
interrupt?

My guess:  No, INT samples the pin, not the latch.  The write will write to
the latch only, and pins set as input (RB0, aka INT) will not be affected.

The other question:    Aren't the interrupt flags set even when GIE is
cleared?  Will an interrupt occur when GIE is then set?

My guess:    I can't reason this one out from the databook.  I think that
when GIE is set that any  interrupts with their enable and flag bits will
cause an interrupt to occur

Right?  Thanks for any help.
