I thought MPLAB can set the programming range automatically.  I haven't used
the Picstart+ in years, but I know it works that way with the ICD2.  Even
then it makes me wonder about the Picstart+.  A full 16F88 takes less than
15 seconds to program with two verify passes, and I know the Picstart+ only
does one.  Also, there is no reason the programmer can't automatically skip
words set to the erased value.  Any memory address limit would therefore
only apply to the single verify pass, which can't save much.  Or the
Picstart+/MPLAB combination is very poorly implemented.
