Hi,

Firsties, thanks for the quick response - most mailing lists i use
take about 4 years average response.

Second, the config is all saved in the mplab project.  In the
configure menu, and the config bits part.  I prefer to use this than
specify it in the code, because it's much clearer.

The config bits are as follows: osc is extrc-osc2 as clock out.  WD is
off.  Power up is on.  MCLR is on.  brown out detect is on.  low
voltage program is disabled - the ICD2 tells me to do this.  all code
protection related stuff is off.

The list and include are all included in my custum include file.  I
made it so I don't have to keep defining friendly names for things in
every project.

I setup my own custom names for some of the SFRs, because at the time,
my resorce only showed me the addresses for the SFRs, not the actual
names.

About the PICdem 4 osc, it has some sort of real time clock stuff on
it, and I'm not absolutely sure what it does, which is one reason I'm
so worried about the baud rate.  It says it has an RC osc, about 2MHz,
and a 32Khz on timer1.  I am using the external RC osc, because my
ICD2 says I have to, although I think it might be possible to set it
up with an internal osc.  I'm not sure what internal osc the 16F87 has
either.

Finally, do you know if my method of bank switching is correct.
