Just a quick reminder, some of the pins on a PIC don't have shunt diodes to VDD, so if you are using the old resistor trick (which btw works a treat for bit-banging RS232, with a 10K) you need to keep this in mind.
I know that the pin you are intending to use has a shunt diode, but just thought I would make you aware that it's not a fool-proof method for every pin, using this on a 16f62x on pin 4, (mclr set as input) could very well put the PIC into program mode!
Hope this helps.
