John:

If you're using MPASM, you can just bracket your block of code
between an "IF (0)" and an "ENDIF".

Personally, I'd probably use a named constant rather than the
literal "0" in the "IF" expression... That way, you can enable
or disable the block of code by simply changing a single line
at the top of your program.  For example:

    ENABLE_TEST     EQU     0       ;1 = Enable the "Test" code
                                    ;0 = Disable the code

    ....

        IF (ENABLE_TEST)

    TEST:   BTFSS   PORTA,0        ;Wait here until RA0 goes
            GOTO    TEST           ;high.

        ENDIF
