pre loading eeprom data

[Rob Martin]

I'm sure I must be missing something here which is obvious to everyone accept me

I'm using a 16f648 and I'm using the eeprom onboard memory to set some default values which once the pic is running will be over written.

I know I can use the write command to set the values at startup but I only want this to happen once and not everytime.
Secondly this uses code space (my main concern).

I assumed I should be able to create a file and program the ee using my Epic programmer but I can not find any details.
I've tried searching the list but not joy.

Also am I the only person who find not being able to search the list for 3 chr strings a pain? or is there a way around this?

Use the DATA command (refer to your PBP manual).

i dont know if i am right on this subject, but im sure ive read a artical on using xmodem and hyperterminal to program memory without the need of the pic to be worrying about data handling???

if i am wrong can you explain the x-modem ?
