non-volatile memory?

[droptail]

Is there non-volatile memory on a 16F716 that would enable the chip to retain a variable if it is removed from power, after it has been programmed?

Hello James,

It has no internal EEPROM. You could easily use an external EEPROM or, with care, use WRITECODE and READCODE.

Best Regards,

Choose any PIC that has EEPROM.
