Ahh, I figured out that the .lib files in pic basic pro folders contain the secrets of DEFINES!!!
This DEFINE does this..
HSERIN
ifdef HSER_CLROERR
btfsc RCSTA, OERR ; Check for overflow error
bcf RCSTA, CREN ; Toggle continuous receive to clear error
bsf RCSTA, CREN
endif
for every HSERIN used in code...(I had a manual implementation of this..but your DEFINE seems to work just fine also)

also....there is this that the DEFINE is doing:
ifdef HSER_CLROERR
btfsc RCSTA, OERR ; Check for overflow error
bcf RCSTA, CREN ; Toggle continuous receive to clear error
bsf RCSTA, CREN
endif
..
