One place to start is probably the "Programming 16 Bit Controllers in C" su=
btitled "Learning to Fly the PIC24" which develops a project on an Explorer=
 16 dev Board with the PIC24FJ256GA110 chip, but the website that goes with=
 the book has updates and code adapted for other processors that have Explo=
rer 16 PIMs. Available through Amazon and possibly Microchip.

When wanting to know the syntax for a specific standard C command I found t=
his HP document useful

http://docs.hp.com/en/B3901-90007/B3901-90007.pdf but it doesn't seem to re=
side there anymore.

Doing a Google for "HPUX C Manual B3901-90007" took me direct to a link to =
a copy at citeseerx.ist.psu.edu (3rd link down when I searched), but I can'=
t put the whole link in as it has all sorts of Google rubbish in it. That g=
ave me syntax for almost anything that I got confused on, as the microchip =
documents are pretty clear for most of their C statements that deal with po=
rt handling, and extensions to do with interrupt declarations and RAM handl=
ing due to the architecture and non-linear addressing.
