I have this assembler code at the start of my program:

@ DEVICE HS_OSC, WDT_OFF, LVP_OFF, BOD_OFF, PWRT_ON, PROTECT_OFF

The "HS_OSC" is my change because I have a 20Mhz xtal, and yes, I have "OSC 20" in my "PIC Basic" code. The other line items are "Boiler Plate" I've found looking around the Forum. I'm quite certain the "WDT_OFF" turns the Timer off.
