Have you tried to use your environment with a (PIC) assembler other than
MPASM? (You know, there are other PIC assemblers, and they all do several
things differently, even though the basic assembly language is the same, In
a way not much different from different C compilers...)

And whether it's clear or not depends on the compiler's and assembler's
documentation and your degree of familiarity with it.
