Oscillator/Hserout woes

[ScaleRobotics]

Having got the define correct. (define osc 4 ....4Mhz)

The OSCCON still needs setting? (bear with me here - I seldom change this stuff.....if OSCCON still needs setting what's the purpose of the DEFINE command?)

I tried getting the interal oscillator presented on the associated IO pins (to see if I could scop them - failed! IS there something unique about the clock that makes it invisible? lol)

I tried a whole heap of permutations - the Hserout settings I posted were derived from Mr E's calculator.

No, you were correct, it defaults to 4 mhz, and should not need to be set, unless you want to try 8 mhz. Which, maybe you should, just for fun. But try what Henrik suggested with verifying your osc speed by toggling an led, and see what you get, just to be sure.
