No, that is not how the PIC's RB0/INT interrupt works.  I works exactly the
way you would expect it to (surprisingly enough).  I'm assuming that
H=5volts and L=gnd.  If the signal line is primarily H all the time AND you
want it to trigger on button down (where the button connects the pin to
ground when pushed), you will want to set the PIC to trigger on a "falling"
edge.  The PIC will trigger the interrupt precisely when the button is
pressed down.  If you want it to occur on button release (you will want to
trigger on a "rising" edge.  Of course, without debouncing your button, your
interrupt routine is likely to run dozens of times on one button press
(especially if it is a short routine).  :-O

Newbie PIC Tip of the Day:  Make sure you have the watchdog timer disabled

Hope this helps.
