'movwf' is a pseudo-op that is supported by MPASM as well as some=20
other assemblers.  In other words, its not a 'real' instruction with=20
a specific op-code.

You will find it and several other pseudo-ops documented in the MPASM=20
documentation files.

And yes - I use 'movwf' exclusively, as opposed to 'movf XX,W'.  Its=20
much easier for my brain to recognize.
