Last (I hope) question for this matter.

In the 16F886-dataheet (DS41291-D), page 77, there's a note about
using the internal oscillator saying "The oscillator requires a
start-up and stabilization time before use. Thus, T1OSCEN should be
set and a suitable delay observed prior to enabling Timer1".

The term "suitable delay" does really not tell me anything. Are we
talking about 2 msec or 2 secs here?  I don't have an oscilloscope
either so I cannot "observe" the waveform.

Anyhow, if I parse the datasheet correct, I'm supposed to do something
like this:

        banksel T1CON                           ; Setup Timer1
        bsf     T1CON, T1OSCEN                  ; Enable internal oscillator
        bsf     T1CON, TMR1CS                   ; Use external clock
(built-in 32kHz)

        call    some_nice_delay_thingie

        bsf     T1CON, TMR1ON                   ; Start timer1
