So apparently you can't, unless the C18 compiler is different in that aspect (it isn't a 100% ANSI C, after all) - assuming you are asking this about the Microchip compiler.
I agree with Dave that the hexadecimal form is much better once you get used to it.
You probably know it, but for the ones that do not, each hex symbol represents 4 bits. Once you realize that, it just isn't magic anymore.
