James, I appreciate that, but there's nevertheless a big difference
between "where is that in the datasheet ?" and "I've read it and
don't understand / need help with this bit". Of course it's possible
to write code for a PIC without ever powering one up, but if you
want that code running IN a PIC you have to know how to do
that part too, and that's when you have to have a little patience
and RTFM
