I should have mentioned that the PIC is running at 3V, giving me:

3V -> LED -> Res -> Pic

The LED comes on when the PIC outputs a low.  Therefore, a
low-delay-high lets me see the LED.  Sheesh.  I did figure out how to
turn on an LED a while back.  I don't need you guys to do further
analysis on this.  :-)

Yes.

That's how I reset it, with a screwdriver.  (a tiny one, since it is
SMT). =20

Yes, I have gathered that most thoroughly.  :-) =20

Yes, I never planned to get this much discussion.  I feel like I am on
trial now.  :-)

Forget I asked!!!  I don't care anymore!!!
