Hey guys, finally got it going thanks for your input - changed the INC files and it works well - interesting that MPASM gets choked on the configs here's wot I changed it to finally

NOLIST
ifdef PM_USED
LIST
"Error: PM does not support this device. Use MPASM."
NOLIST
else
LIST
LIST p = 18F8722, r = dec, w = -311, w = -230, f = inhx32
INCLUDE "P18F8722.INC" ; MPASM Header
CONFIG OSC=HS
CONFIG WDT=ON, WDTPS=512
CONFIG MCLRE=ON
CONFIG LVP=ON, XINST=OFF
NOLIST
endif
LIST
EEPROM_START EQU 0F00000h
BLOCK_SIZE EQU 64
