So if I buy the 'pro version' I can use my PICkit1 to load any HEX files I create into my projects?

What about the program Joe S wrote for me in this thread (Is it written in PICBASIC) how do I turn that into a HEX file and run it on my PICkit? Will my MPLAB IDE convert it?

Oop's sorry for double posting I lost my way there for a second.

Also interesting website of yours.

All very confusing right now but I'll get there.
