OK, step back from the PIC, and actually *read* the manual.  Pay particular
attention to the data and program memory organization, to FSRs, and PCLATH.

You are confusing almost too many issues to enumerate.  If you're reading a
"text block", why is the program counter there?  What does this have to do
with FSRs as in your original post?  What does it have to do with table
reads, since the 16F877 doesn't have them?

In any case, you seem to be wondering where the upper bits of the PC come
from when PCL is modified.  The answer is from PCLATH.  READ THE MANUAL!
