Keywords are special-purpose words which cannot be used as normal identifier names.

Beside standard BASIC keywords, all relevant SFR are defined as global variables and represent reserved words that cannot be redefined (for example: P0, TMR1, T1CON, etc). Probe Code Assistant for specific letters (Ctrl+Space in Editor) or refer to Predefined Globals and Constants.
