I'm tired & have a headache & it's WAY past my bedtime, BUT, something I
don't see at all here is an Org statement, and THAT at least is
missing.  As you haven't dropped an Org in there, MPAsm doesn't know
where you want to PUT that NOP,  in the memory of the PIC chip!

{I snipped out the line of plus signs etc., this system hangs up when I
send messages like that (and, of course, no-one wants to do other than
finger pointing on that.)  Easy to work around it, annoying though.}
