This has the ring of Good Advice, and I am presently following it (despite the funhouse challenges posed by some latent dyslexia). Thanks again for steering me in the right direction. By the way, LCALL and LGOTO appear in the Quick Reference Guide that came with a recent PICSTART Plus, but I haven't spotted an elaboration on their function elsewhere. They seem to take care of PCLATH <4,3> for the initial leap, but don't clean it up again on RETURN. Into the Fire Swamp I go.
