I just wrote the following code. It seems to do what I want except that RA4 never goes high. I am sure it's due to my ignorance, and I have to somehow enable RA4 to be an output, or something equally easy. What have I missed? Thanks.

Read the datasheet carefully. RA4/TOCKI is an "open-drain" output. It must be pulled up (high) with an external resistor. The value of the external resistor should be high enough so that in the low state the pin does not exceed the current sinking capability of of the output driver. I think 47K would be about the maximum value.

 

A bit down this page, there is a schematic:

That shows how to get RA4 high/low.
