Newbie question - getting started

[groston]

All,

I am trying to get started with CCS C, which I am using within MPLAB. I am an experienced C programmer and have a small amount of experience with PIC microcontrollers and Pic Basic Pro.

My questions are quite basic:
1) Fuses - I see them listed in the .h file, but am not sure what they correspond to on the PIC itself. Looking at the PIC datasheet does not offer much help. So, is there a document somewhere that discusses the #FUSES in detail?
2) From 16F688.h header file: What does this:
C Scratch area: 20 ID Location: 2000
mean?
3) Is there a good book/on-line reference to help me get started? The C language reference is useful, but it is tree-focused - i need to first understand a bit more about the forest.

Thank you.

Or, in the home directory where you installed the compiler, look for the file 'fuses.txt'.
This gives the 'text description' for all current fuses.

Ttelmah,
