Hi,
I'm glad you figured it out!
As you probably know, this forum is primarily targeting PBP (PIC BASIC Pro) from Micro Engineering Labs. Unfortunatley there are differences between various BASIC compilers so what applies to PBP may not be relevant to the compiler you're using.

It's not that the people around here wouldn't want to help just because you're using another brand compiler but you'll most likely get much better help on a forum or newsgroup discussing the particullar compiler you're using.
