Ralph,

For a starting point on setting up a program for the 16F88 look at the 
template.  Look in program 
files\MPLAB_IDE\Mchip_tools\template\code\f88.temp.asm.  Copy it to your 
working directory and re-name it to whatever.  It has the setup done 
waiting for you to make any needed changes and start codeing.  If the 
board you're using supports in-system programming it's an easy way to 
go.  See Sparkfun website for a cheap programmer for this.
