i am trying something very simple to start the training

chip 16f627a
assembler mpasm

trying to set chip for external osc because most people say this is required to run serial communications

tried the following statements
@ device xt_osc

@device pic16f627a,xt_osc

@_config_xt_osc

_config_xt_osc

all commands generate error messages in a simple 4 line program which assembles fine without the commands

wish pbp would include these setups as part of the compileing
Computers are stupid, PICs are stupid, they are not however, sloppy. So when they want some piece of code they will not accept a peace of kode, because they are stupid.
Now look at mister_e's code, the word config is preceded by __ not _ , that's two little Hyphen slash thingies, not one.
I hope this helps.
