Question about Softie PIC

Hi, I didn't find an answer to my question on the build docs so maybe someone (Brian?) can answer:
On the Softie project, how much current can pin 5 of the PIC sink (or is it source)? The reason I ask is that I have a enclosure that I'm using for a project and the way the indicator LEDs are done, it uses an array of LEDs. The greens are separate from the red LEDs. I have the greens down to 10ma and I'm gonna try to get the reds down to 20ma. Will pin 5 of the Softie PIC handle those currents?
If anyone was wondering, the S.V. Gemini was broken and the case will work great for a K.O.T. clone. Even if the Gemini worked, I would have done the same thing... I'm not a big fan. Lol!

Thanks in advance...

From the PIC datasheet it looks like 50mA max

Pin 5 is one of the I/O pins
