Several people sent quick replies (and I thank all of you), so this is just
a general response to all of them.

The PIC is a 16F628-04/P  --  not a 16F628A.

I have read about the Wisp628 support at www.robh.nl, but was under the
impression that it was Linux based, and I can only use Windows XP right now
(although one of these days . . . )  At any rate, the guy that I bought the
Wisp628 from said to just download the material from voti.nl and that it
would suit my needs fine.  So I am still on the early part of that
particular learning curve.

I tried doing "xwisp.py verbose go tut2_1" as suggested, and it gets a lot
further.  The "verbose" command puts out a lot of information, but
eventually puts out:

Send_Expect( "3D18w")
. . .  (followed by some trackback information) . . .
_main_.Wbus_Protocol_Error: send=' 3D18w'  received=' 3D18?'

Then it quits.

Running without the verbose command produces  the same thing (except a lot
less info printed out).
