Is it possible that the watchdog could start running even if I disabled it
in the configuration when I programmed the PIC?  I took out all of the
loops, and the chip still resets after about 3 seconds.  Going to try
assembly next or else try another chip.  Also, I am currently turning on and
off an LED via the below code:  I am using the MPLAB C18 compiler.

        //set RB1 as output
        TRISBbits.TRISB1=0;

        //turn on LED on RB1
        LATBbits.LATB1 = 0;
        PORTBbits.RB1 = 0;

        //wait a little
        Delay10KTCYx(1);

        //turn off LED on RB1
        LATBbits.LATB1 = 1;
        PORTBbits.RB1 = 1;

The guide was not very specific on how this should really be done.  If there
is a better or more efficient way of doing this, could someone please offer
advice?  Thanks again!

This sounds like the watchdog is running and you're not clearing it.
