really baffled!

I run your same set-up (except MPLAB 7.30)

To get up and running, try this (manually instead of letting MCS/MPLAB do it)

* Close MPLAB if open
* In Microcode studio make sure you select the MPASM box under
View menu Compile and Program Options/Assembler
* Use Microcode Studio to Compile Only (F9) (watch for errors)

* Start MPLAB.
* Under Configure menu select “Select Device” and select your PIC (make sure PS+ is green)
* Under Configure select/open Configuration Bits
* Under Programmer menu select the PicStart Plus
* Under Programmer menu Enable Programmer (watch for errors)
* Under View menu select Program memory
* Under Window menu select Tile Horizontally (to manage your views)
* Under File select Import and find your newly compiled .hex file (You should see the Program memory change)
* Make sure the Config bits are okay
* Insert you PIC in your PS+
* erase your PIC (Programmer Menu / Erase Flash Device)
* program your PIC (Programmer menu / Program)

Report back

Dahhh!
I should have known how to import hex files. I should have known that the basic operating parameters of MPLAB wouldn't change that much! (but then, maybe they might, knowing Microchip. However, I'm glad they didn't!!!)
The 12F509 programed fine, however my code still needs work. I am on the right track, however.
