The 18f's have roughly the same banking structure as other PICs, just
bigger. There is 160 bytes of special function registers (that is all
SFR's, unless you want to use CAN), plus 96 bytes of general-purpose
RAM, both always available (think of it as appearing in all banks, even
though uChip uses a different description). Besides this there is a 256
byte bank that can point at 256 byte boundaries in the total address
space. So without worrying about banking (just set up the bank bits
once) you have all FSRs (except CAN) plus 353 bytes RAM available (that
is almost as much as the total available on an f877). But the 18f's have
a total of 768 or 1536 bytes RAM, so sooner or later you will have to
start banking....
