Hi,
I am using CC5x.  This is because at the time I was
only aware of this free compiler.  I can't justify
cost  of a professional compiler since I build
projects at level of "serious hobbist" and earn no
income from it.  When I first started using CC5x, I
had written code just as you say T1CON.TMR1ON = 0 but
the compiler gave a syntax error.  I am going to
evaluate SDCC and see how that measures up.

Anyway, thank for you help.  I have learned a lot from
from people like you on this list already.  I hope to
become good enough to help others someday...soon.
