18F2520 clock speed ?

I had also ALREADY tried using DEFINE OSC 10Mhz, it did not work.

That's because DEFINE OSC 10Mhz is the wrong syntax.

I didn't write the book - That's urban legend! (but I have seen it once in a previous life). I have never used the paper copy, because I downloaded the pdf and it's a hell of a lot easier to use the Adobe FIND feature to locate exactly what I'm looking for, rather than waste time thumbing through a hundred pages.

And if people can't figure where to download the pdf... then takeup landscape gardening for a hobby!

And finally John, the reason folks are reluctant to help when you haven't got a manual, is it usually applies to someone that has not acquired a legal copy (since the manual comes free with the product).

Hey Mel,

If you or others are "reluctant to help when you haven't got a manual" ...because..."it usually applies to someone that has not acquired a legal copy (since the manual comes free with the product).", then thats fine by me. If you happened to read post 9 you would see that I stated I recently moved, which translates in english to I can't locate my PBP book that came with the software. Thats the "book" you told me to look in. What do you do, test people to see if they possess this stupid book ? I too, since my PURCHASE of PBP for $249.95, also use the pdf AND my printed copy of the manual. I also PURCHASED the MELABS U2 programmer as already stated, or do ya think I "acquired" that illegally too(downloading of matter-maybe there is a pbp command for that!). My only mistake in all of this was basically a typo that you pointed out-DEFINE OSC 10Mhz, which was how I typed it in my post because I was tired. However, in my program I did enter it minus the Mhz--it did not work. I don't know why it didn't work, but the timing was still off. Go figure, thats why I posted my question in the first place. The couple of posts I made in the past which were promptly and maturely answered by "Mister E", was how I thought it worked around here-not having someone call you a thief.......geeez !

I wasn't accusing you personally of anything. I did however reflect on the attitude of a large number of contributors to this forum.
