Well, drat, just when I thought I had things figured out, up comes
another strangeness.  The following code shows that I assign zero to a
variable called DVAR, which I would certainly presume is located in data
memory.  (If not, then I am misunderstanding how things work).  Then,
just as a test, I assign zero to "MyStart" which is not defined in data
memory, but is clearly in program memory.  This is happily accepted by
MPASM (although the address is truncated to 8 bits).  Should not this
have been flagged as an error???

Thanks, John
