hello kev,

you can use the mclr switch as a sort of an interrupt that will not
force a cold boot but it means you cant also use a low battery reset,
i think.  it requires setting some flags to detect the sleeping
condition so that the mclr wakeup is processed correctly.  this is a
bit tricky to get to work.

IIRC, the 12c508s go to the origin both after sleep and after an
mclr event, so the parsing routine has to be there.
