    You don't want or need PBP in your MPLAB directory. Drop out to a command prompt and type PATH then hit enter.

    Does it show C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite in your path?

    Smile Bruce, That's it. Microchip\MPASM Suite wasn't in the PATH!

    Bruce,

    You're right, Microchip\MPASM Suite wasn't in the PATH. Now all is well, I think. Except that somehow I screwed up MPLAB so I wasn't able to modify my .bas file. It said that it couldn't find the old file in SaveAs or some such goofy thing. So I made a new .bas file and was able to compile it in MPLAB and program the chip. Hopefully no other goofy problem will show up.

    I don't understand why the PATH wasn't set up properly. Maybe some problem in the MPLAB install?

    Many thanks to you Bruce and to the others who gave me suggestions.
