Hi Bruce,

	Yes you do have to tie it high.

A hardware question (it seems to be my day for questions!).
If you have SPI port enabled, used as a Master, do you have to tie the SSEL0
pin high, or can you program that pin as a GPIO (and somehow the 
SPI core gets a permanent high supplied to it internally) ?

Seems a waste of an I/O pin to have to tie it high where most SPI 
applications would be SPI master

  I believe the answer is yes, you must tie the SSEL0 pin high even when
operating in Master mode and yes, it seems a waste.
