Chaps, can someone tell me if the LVP / RB5 pin on a PIC18F452 needs to be
tied low? - my design uses high voltage programming, never uses LVP. Some
folk talk about needing to tie LVP low, but reading the datasheet, I cannot
see why.

If I do tie RB5 low, then I lose a pushbutton, since I have a bank of 4
switches on RB4,5,6,7 which use the internal weak pull-ups, with the
switches pulling low through 1k when pressed.

Thanks, Peter Moreton
