phil: yes i directly connected mclr to the supply voltage

hector: you are completely right! sdcc leaves the code in _asm blocks=20
unchanged, so it actually did the movlw using the ram address as an=20
argument. I will try everything you said; for now, before i go to bed,=20
besides changing it with a movf, i put an INTCON=3D0 at the beginning, but=
=20
this didn't solve the reset problem.
