I'm using the timer interrupt of the PIC16F84 to make a very long time delay and I'm running it in the simulator of MPASM. I have a spin loop that when I set a breakpoint in it, it never arrives there when I set a breakpoint in the interrupt. I'm wondering if for some reason the simulator just ignores the main loop when breaking in the interrupt. Here's the code:

Code:
list      p=16F84            ; list directive to define processor
	#include  <P16F84.inc>        ; processor specific variable definitions

	__CONFIG   _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _RC_OSC

; '__CONFIG' directive is used to embed configuration data within .asm file.
; The lables following the directive are located in the respective .inc file.
; See respective data sheet for additional information on configuration word.


;***** VARIABLE DEFINITIONS
w_temp				EQU     	0x0C        ; variable used for context saving 
status_temp			EQU     	0x0D        ; variable used for context saving

		CBLOCK	0x0E
			mode					; bit 0 set = wait - clear = OK
									; bit 1 button state 0 = off - 1 = on
									; bit 2 reset mode 1 = yes - 0 = no
			valve_on_time
			CounterA
			CounterB
			CounterC
			CounterD
			CounterE
			temp1
		ENDC
