Thanks everyone, I feel I can get forward with this now, I'm planning on
'donating' tomorrow to this and possibly Monday.

I know once I get this basic step done, I can move on and update my old
projects from serial to USB, one project I want to attempt is a little toy
for the car, to output (via USB) 'telemetry' from the engine, voltage,
charge ampage, rpm, speed, etc , but I think for now I'd better stick with
the LED's......

Son also wants a new speedometer for his motorcycle, if I build him one
based on that, I can download his max speed and see what he's been
upto.............. Start a New Thread

You need to download the PIC code from here:

http://pe.ece.olin.edu/ece/projects.html

I should have included that link on the web page, I'll add it.
