Wally! As anyone who's read the Parallax Assembler book knows already, it
isn't necessary!!! Simply obtain the outline of Parallax's "macro"
instructions, which are compiled in MicroChip code for the PIC. Those other
commands are just to make it more 8051-like! They are composed of a couple
or three normal MicroChip PIC commands in each case! We really should
publish them here as a FAQ!! Parallax is nice, but you have to know
MicroChip's code anyway to keep away from Parallax invited blunders!!
