Just to confirm this, let us click Program | Read to read (and display on the PC program)  the contents of the target area of the PIC processor's Flash program memory.

From the Bootloader version information, we see that the target area extends from address 0x0000 up to just below the Bootloader Start Address, which would be 0x67FF in this case.

We can see that the bottom of program memory (including those first 3 words) are all 0xFFFF which means "blank".
