First off, when you said you looked at the online manual I figured you did not have the printed manual meaning ....
For that I apologize.

Th control is specific to the part being used. I have not used the part you are using so I will need to look at the data sheet when I get back to the shop.

Control does have read/write bits set but normally PBP will changes those for you at compile time.

In th meantime maybe this will help, maybe a work around if PBP does not work well with your part.
