Thanks, Neil!! I thought PICLIST finally got tired of me and was=20
throwing out my posts.

My problem is with the screwball actions of MPLAB, MPLABX AND icd3.
That covers it, right?

My design uses a PIC16F1947, a cool, sleek 16F with 16-level stack,=20
quick interrupt
(context saving with changeable shadow registers) and lots of other=20
slick features. So
it is a new chip to me (I always wait to buy a chip until the bugs are=20
chased out; this one
had six revisions), so I expect a few issues. But this one is awesome:=20
neither the SIM
in mplab8.5 or mplabx2.05, nor the ICD3 will step above address 0x2000,=20
but since
the chip is a 16k word devicxe, it should step to 0x3fff.

Now, the fact that an old MPLAB and a NEW ONE- MPLABX- as well as an=20
ICD3, ALL
have the SAME error means that the error is somewhere else. That=20
somewhere is certainly
in the include file that they all use, but I am unable to find the mistake.

Can anyone find the error, and become a hero? Look in PIC16F1947.INC.
