bs2 PINS

Quick question on a BS2 how should all unused pin be left and should they be tied to ground or power thru a resistor. I'm have been having trouble with serial comunication with a PIC that worked at one point but now does not. So I am rewiring from scratch.

    I typically tie unused pins to Vdd through pull-ups.
