Hi Mike,
    The first _ was on the first column so I shifted it progressively to the
right, compiling with each step, but to no avail.
The reason for the different terms is because I am using an older version of
PICC than the one you are using - I've got 7.87PL3 and I'm guessing you are
lucky enough to have V8PL4!

I've just fixed it!

The cause was that I was including pic16f6x.h which didn't have the __CONFIG
macro defined - this is in pic.h.
When I included pic.h (and having already defined the processor at the top
of my code), it pulled in the pic16f6x.h for me. Thus I now have my __config
macro and all the normal declarations and everything compiles again as it
should.

The example in the manual is misleading in that it shows the inclusion of
the device include file but says nothing about the pic.h needing to be
included also. The error callout didn't help because it was trying to
indicate that I had an error in a function declaration!

Thanks to everyone for their help, now I can get back to seeing if I can
successfully program the chip again!
John
