Hmmm, I thought there was a problem. For simulation, W was being
sent to RAM pointed at by FSR0. Odd addresses weren't working,
and, as you say, they should, but padding to an even address seemed
to be a fix. However, MPLAB has been doing a couple of odd things
today (right-click stops working, and builds of good code fail). A re-
boot appears to have made it come right. Also Tamas chipped in with
the db suggestion before I got to having another look at that padding
issue
