It is a specific limitation of the free Keil evaluation software that it always locates code starting at 0x0800 (or whatever)

Andy,

Yeah, i was aware of this limitation.. and I assumed that bit at 0h was a jump to 800h.. and since I set the status byte to 0h, it should be running the program at restart..

I can verify the hex has been downloaded to the chip.. I just can't get any of the pins to change state.. all the P1 pins hang at ~4.3V... not sure what to check next...

Thanks for the help though!
