                You are right in your assumption that the config word is
programmed when the

programmer.

                The default config word is for external clock,
microprocessor mode and WDT
                with
                minimum timeout period. For your app, the only config bits
you need to
                program
                are the WDT bits (Write to FE02, FE03)

                Given that you are not programming any of the main eprom it
is a pity if you
                cannot handle the WDT in software as this would eliminate
the need to program
                the part at all.

Thanks Jim - Bob's answer got to me about 3 emails before yours.  Both
contained valuable but different info.  I thought that the microprocessor
mode used external program memory space and the microcontroller used
internal memory space.  I want to use the internal program memory space.  I
plan on using the WD in the future - I was not planning on using it
initially to simplify my first few passes at the code.

Thanks again,
