Thanks! I guess I didn't search the help for long enough. I'm still not
sure what the drop down does. I have a conditional compile flag that I
change for debug. When set for debug, it turns off code protect, wdt, and
stuff like that. When not set for debug, it leaves that stuff on. I also
select the ICD2 under the debug menu for debug and under the programmer
menu for programming. This has been my approach on a bunch of 18F devices
and a couple 24H devices. So... I wonder if the drop down just inserts a
symbol that the compiler and linker look at? A more detailed explanation
from Microchip would be great. I generally find their documentation on the
compiler and linker to be a bit brief. The chip documentation seems
complete enough, though.
