This is version 8.30.00.00 MPLAB, downloaded last weekend. Yes, I did 
have a major problem with the memory gauge on the earlier versions, it 
showed "-" total data and no green arcs, etc. I have tried various mods 
to the linker, pragmas, with little success, following examples, non of 
which were exactly what my situation was. If I'm reading the map file 
correctly, it's pretty much continuous for the full 256 bytes of data 
memory of the 1320. To me that says, I have no memory left to use. :(

Thanks everyone for the help, keep the stuff coming. :)
