John,
Those pins are the ICSP pins.  They are used for programming and=20
debugging.  But in order to make them work, you have to set the compiler=20
up to point to the right pair of pins in the config words.  Besides, if=20
you think about it, your PICkit, ICD, REALice has to program the chip=20
and set the debug stuff up for the emulator to work.  So, programming is=20
just programming without the debug stuff.
