I've searched the forum on the 16f88, however, it revealed no real answers to my delema.

As far as I can tell the thing should work. I've set the fuses to:

__config _CONFIG1, _HS_OSC & _WDT_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF

Still can't see why the PAUSE command of 5 sec appears as though its in the order of msec. I'm thinking it could be the programmer?? K149-BC
