Using MPLAB with the simulator, I find that if I am WATCHing PORTA, when a
command of "bsf  PORTA,RA0" is executed it does not cause PORTA to change
in the watch window.  It would be nice if it did, but I figured that
watching LATA would let me see the latched bits, so no problem.

However....the following code, running with the simulator, will set the
watched LATA to a value of 4.  I think it should be a value of 7.  (I feel
absolutely certain that someone will gleefully shout RFTM! on this, but I
have read the Fine Manual and don't see it.)  This is with an 18F452, if
that makes any difference.

      clrf  PORTA
      bsf  PORTA,RA0
      bsf  PORTA,RA1
      bsf  PORTA,RA2
