Anyway back to the initial problem,

For anyone beginning with PICs, i strongly advice that you DON'T start programming with asm/assembler etc, it's far too complicated for a beginner to grasp, and will leave with without a working project, even a month later.
There's too many things to 'set' & 'clear' all thru your code, just another nasty that puts a LOT of beginners off PICs or any for of coding....

If you jump into basic (picbasic, mikrobasic and the like) you'll be flashing lights and controlling motors in the first hour and actually UNDERSTAND how you achieved it.

ASM is easy *IF* you already understand ASM, a bit like Rocket Science is easy for Rocket Scientists. ;-)
