This "Hello World" was just about as tough as the one for the PIC16F877A. Took a whole lot of trial and error (mostly error).

What Config bits need to be set

Setting up Internal Oscillator

Making it easier to use " __delay_ms(1000);". I'm at a distinct disadvantage since I'm fairly new to programming in C and even newer to programming PIC microcontrollers. So, setting configuration bits has been a bit of an adventure.
