I want to try this out..Help Please

TRIS = direction (0 for output)
PORT = high or low (0 for low)

Don't connect anything to the unused pins.

Here's another advanced tip:
RBPU will turn a weak pullup on PORTB, handy for pushbuttons.

I must have them set.

it looks like this. Is this right?

init
movlw 0 ;initialise port settings
tris portb
movwf portb
movlw 1
tris porta
bcf porta,0

tris porta?

try

bcf trisa,0

don't forget tris & port are in different banks.
