Walt, I just took a look at the Mid-Range Reference Manual
(DS31018A) to see if there was any additional info. On page
18-2 they also mention setting the related TRIS Bits though
they are a bit obscure compared to the data books I've used.
Since this comes up fairly often, it would be nice to hear
what Microchip has to say on this.
