Hi,

Thanks and I finally get it. It did work on the 16f877a but I have to remember, each PIC device has its own little kingdom of parameter and register. I mistakenly figured this was a common, like TRIS and PORT, parameter among all PIC devices (PortB pull-ups sounds common).

I started with the 16f877a and that has become my 'normalized register' set.

I'll try to pay more attention to the datasheets in the future.

thanks
