Thanks to all who have pointed at Microchip's DS51242A, "PIC16F87X
Debugger Control".  I've studied that so hard for the last week I
can almost recite it from memory, and still have some fundamental
questions on how this works.  Here's the most mind-boggling:

The document states on page 10 describes how the debugger code gets
control:

  "As the processor vectors to 0x2004, the CPU will fetch and
  execute the instruction at this address. Therefore, address 2004
  must be programmed with a GOTO opcode, where opcode is pointing to
  the beginning address of the debug code."

I really can't wrap my head around this statement because it would
seem that the current contents of PCLATH would determine which page of
memory the GOTO statement would transfer to.  Is there some special
form of GOTO that must be used?

This is one of several questions pondered by Myke Predko, Bob
Ammerman, Tony Nixon, Dmitry Kiryashov, Olin Lathrop and Alejandro
Lavarello back in May of this year.  If answered, I can't find it in
the archives...

Any clues?  Thanks,

Steve
