You actually got close to the mark there, you clever Swede you. The
problem of no keyboard with MPLAB 6.20 is of my own making. It
was set up on a new machine and the files I was loading were on a
CD from the other machine. In Edit/Properties/Editor there's a box
for "Protect Read-Only Files" - when ticked there can be no editing
done on files such as those from CDs. Unticking it allows full k/b use

Just an unfortunate combination -

Clean PC with none of my current asm files
Unfamiliarity with a new MPLAB
CD back-ups

Today with a LAN set up I probably wouldn't have transferred the
files via CD and not had a problem

This reply from Microchip. The reference to 5.xx is wrt a previous k/b
problem that I know several others on the list encountered

Joe,

In MPLAB 6.2x there is a new option checkbox, Protect Read Only files.
If you have this option checked and the file is read-only (as in copied
from a CD and not manually marked NOT read-only), you will only be
able to use the arrow keys

I'd appreciate it if you could check on this and let me know.
Thanks.

BTW, MPLAB 6.xx is an entirely different code-base from MPLAB 5.xx,
so this isn't a regression. :-)

Best Regards,
Joe Drzewiecki
