I need a PIC16F688-ICD chip

but that should be done by name, so how do I do that?

The title of the thread I posted a link to in #39 is "MPLAB X debugger does not recognize assembler variable names / can't show in watch window"

It discusses some of the various methods... try it and see if it helps.

Ok, I fixed that issue with those unrecognized variable while debugging. As pointed out in that thread mentioned above, this issue happens because the assembler can't handle the cblock declared variables properly for being shown while debugging, but converting those cblocks into udata blocks does the trick.
I hope this helps other noobs like me trying to figure this out later..
