    Default Too complex?

    Should I just use a different pin for the button? Would that make it easier than disabling the MCLR? I could just use "ANSEL = 0" and use another PORTA port. Thanks for responses!

    I also have a PIC16F628A...should I use that instead of the PIC16F690 because of the complexity issues (I already have a programmer adapter for it)? I would still use the "ANSEL = 0" line; will it work?

    I think think the 628A will be easier for you, as long as you won't be needing the A/D module in the future. It doesn't have one. Would have been easier for me too, since I changed my previous post about 10 times.

    But you'll need CMCON = 7 for it's analog pins.

    However, like you suggested, you could use another pin and ANSEL = 0 and it should work fine with the 690. For now.
