Ahem...I sent too soon. Another question I have about ICSP is how do I
deal with it on the 16f628 and the MCLR? In my current project I'm not
anticipating any problems as MCLR is set as digital i/o and not used, so
I should just be able to hook it right up to the ICSP with no problems.
But in the future, should I design in breakable connections like on the
RB6 and RB7? Again, in my current project, none of the ICSP pins are in
use (other than +5v and GND), so what would happen if I left the ICSP
cable attached while I ran the circuit? Would it damage the circuit or
the programmer?

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
