I don´t use MikroC myself but you can always change to hitech free version and spend some time looking at the samples they have.
They have one about the uart for the PIC16XXXX.
You use any simulator program? like isis proteus? i can show you how you can connect over a virtual rs232 COM(connects from proteus to a receiver program just like Hercules or the Rs232analyser, you can also create a VB app to check the data in/out of the pic) using a ComPin and a db9.
