You need to set internal oscillator because you use porta.6 and porta.7 as I/O.
See page 17 on datasheet of pic18f1230.

Thanks for the input guys, still no luck with the program, maybe its the Junebug... I don't know. Any other suggestions?

If you think it might be the "June bug" try a simple hardware setup with one LED on a non analog pine and see it you can make it blink.

I can get the other ports to respond to programming but PORTA.6 and 7 don't do as they should.

OK, that rules out the "junebug".

Can you post your current code, configs, and schematic so we can take a look?

Here is my code, it flashes leds on PORTA.0 and PORTB.0

ADCON0 = 0
ADCON1= 127
define OSC 4
led var PORTA.0
sink var PORTB.0

loop:
toggle PORTA.6
pause 5
high led
pause 5
low led
pause 5
high sink
pause 5
low sink
goto loop
end


PORTA.6 is just low, it does not toggle or go High if I change the code.

The schematic is simple, I connected VPP, +5, Gnd, PGD and PGC.
I have 470 ohm resistors from the PIC to leds connected to GND.

Could it be the clock output function? How do I set INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT?

The above talks about how to set the configs.
You can do it in your code or just modify the PICs *.inc file.
