Disregard post above about mclr.

What I need to know is this --

I've always had mclr tied to Vdd through a 4.7K with my earlier stuff but now with this 16F88 or 1847 I see the mclr is also porta.5 which has me thoroughly confused about the importance of mclr in the first place.

Right now I have all pins on porta as outputs.

?? what should I be doing? I can lose the porta.5 as an output if need be.
