If you do this:

Fosc equ d'4000000'
BaudRate equ Fosc/(d'16'*d'9600') - 1

(you really have to insist on decimal because default is hex...)
...then if you compile in MPLAB and look at the symbol table in the Absolute
Listing window you have the values in hexadecimal:

SYMBOL TABLE
  LABEL                             VALUE
...
Fosc                              003D0900
...
br                                00000019
...

Then you can use the Windows Calculator accessory to convert to decimal if
you like.

When I tried something similar a while back, all I could get to print
was the literal text. In this case it would print:

"Baud rate value is BaudRate"

Is there some trick involved that I've missed?
