Hi.
Many (incl me) find the following way of coding
to be easy to read and self-documentary :
(It should line up using a fixed pitch font...)

   movlw   b'10100000'     ; Enable timer interrupts
;            1-------        Set GIE
;            -0------        Clear PEIE
;            --1-----        Set T0IE
;            ---0----        Clear INTE
;            ----0---        Clear GPIE
;            -----0--        Clear T0IF
;            ------0-        Clear INTF
;            -------0        Clear GPIF

   movwf   INTCON

It's easy to read, and uses fewer instructions then
multiple bcf/bsf.
