Up until now, I've only used the older (lower end?) PICs

I think I understand the difference between PORTx and LATx, but in one=20
data sheet Microchip show port B being initialised like so:

BANKSEL     PORTB
CLRF        PORTB
BANKSEL     LATB
CLRF        LATB
BANKSEL     ANSELB
CLRF        ANSELB
BANKSEL     TRISB
CLRF        TRISB

Why bother clearing TRISB when you would be only writing to LATB anyway?
