If I checked the extended mode box in MPLAB, I got a error, the 18F1320 
does not support extended mode, and If I added "near" to a declaration, 
that generated an error that extended mode needs to be checked. Then 
maybe thats a compiler/MPLAB. I do read the manuals, and had been 
working on this problem for about a week of spare time (a couple of 
hours every 2 days minimum) before bringing it to the group.

Here is copy/paste from the output window:

Taking a successful compilation file, add "near" to the first int 
declaration ( follows #pragma udata) results in

Last night I did try to follow the manual with modifying the LKR file, 
and trying to with #pragma udata, to specify addresses without full 
success. I was able to with Linker modifications put one of the arrays 
where it appeared in the MAP file to be space in ram, but an array size 
larger that 2 generated the doesn't fit error.  Today the plan is to go 
back through that, and if not successful, to prepare meaningful messages 
showing exactly what I did for people to comment.
 Thanking again for help. :)
