Yes. when you declare a variable prefix it with bank1

e.g. bank1 char varname

However the choice of which vars to put in other banks can have huge
implications on code size due to page switching.=20
Arrays usually incur little or no penalty as they are accessed via
indf
Start by moving the least-frequently used vars to bank1, and move
chars first, as ints and longs will usually incur lots of page
switching.
There are some types of vars that can only be in bank 0 - bits and
locals I think.=20
On processors with more than 2 banks you can use bank2, bank3 etc. but
this will use even more code space.=20
