odd 2550 behaviour

[Archangel]

Ha, no it doesnt, well OK it does BUT the first led (on PortA.1) goes out, and instead of 2 leds being on, I get alternating leds ????
....

This could be your code doing this, or if you have an unstable ground and mishmatched LEDs it will also behave this way. Certainly you have some code issues, I just wanted to remind you of the other posibility. Sometimes it is the hardware. A pic which has suffered an ESD will often behave badly as well.

Ok lets take all the comments in no particular order...........

The pic could be faulty, but I doubt it as its running fine now, maybe it did not program correctly but it should have 'verify failed', maybe it did and I was so rushing and never noticed that. possible.

I get bogged down in the data sheets so I often just look at code examples and try things, possibly not most efficient but a better learning process than reading a monitor, which I hate, I'm a paper person, I cant read online books, I cant watch online movies, I need a big screen and cocoa.........

As to quoting commands form other compilers, it was in a code example I came across via Google, website unknown, I did not know it was from another pic basic.

Mel, I took what she said in the fun (I hope!) way it sounded to me, get a life people and dont take it serious, I didnt!

I'm sure if she wanted to 'scold' me she could quite venomous if needed!
(its in the eyes, look at the picture, trust me I knew a woman with eyes like that, one each side, lovely to stare into over a movie, but just try and take the last cookie.....)
