Much obliged... ,Michael and Henry for taking the time out to give such an elaborate and lucid explanation.

I am trying a MCP810 three pin reset chip for the brownout issue,with a resistor between the rst of the supervisor and the micro as was highlighted in a previous posting and in the data sheet.

Now if someone only could figure out a way to collect an entire message thread in a single file for a comprehensive download !!!
