Added info for high priority interrupts

You'll find the information you need in the compiler's manual: MPLAB C18 C COMPILER USER'S GUIDE.

From page 37 of the user's guide:

MPLAB C18 does not automatically place an ISR at the interrupt vector. Commonly, a GOTO instruction is placed at the interrupt vector for transferring control to the ISR proper. For example:

void lowPriorityISR(void);

#pragma code low_vector=0x18
void interrupt_at_low_vector(void) { 
    _asm GOTO lowPriorityISR _endasm 
}
#pragma code

#pragma interruptlow lowPriorityISR
void lowPriorityISR() {
}

When implementing a high priority ISR, you cannot use the interrupthigh pragma as you would expect. You'll have to use the interrupt pragma instead, as is described here.

If you can change the compiler: using interrupts is easier in the Microchip XC8 or HI-TECH PICC compilers.
