For many 18F projects one can mainly ignore data banking, if you use a
certain memory allocation scheme:

1: Use the 'access' page to get access to low memory and SFR's

2: Set the BSR to point to a bank (say bank 1) and leave it there.

3: Use the remaining banks to store larger buffers, arrays, and perhaps a
data stack accessed via the FSR's.

Now you have immediate access to about 384 bytes of directly accessible
variables and simple access to the larger buffers via FSR.

Very simple to do.
