The uart receive interrupt flag uxrxif is located in the corresponding interrupt flag status, ifs register. Rb0int external interrupt flag bit 1 the rb0int external interrupt occurred must be cleared in software 0 the rb0int external interrupt did not occur. That means rc6 is a transmit pin and rc7 is used to receiving data. In fullduplex mode, data transfer simultaneously in both ways transmit and receive. Software interrupts come from a program that runs by the processor and request the processor to stop running the program, go to make an interrupt and then to return to continue to execute the program.
When this button is pressed, the microcontroller is interrupted and the isr is executed. I posted an example on piclist many years ago for interrupt driven fullduplex 9600 baud on a.
