Interrupt driven UART

Hi,
I'm working with a Toshiba TMP91 series MCU that doesn't seem to have
any UART control/status bits to check for empty data register, rx/tx
ready, etc, but does have interrupt vectors for serial tx and rx, which
is why I think I have to use interrupt driven UART rather than polling
it.
I have functions that expect to receive and send a single byte by
calling receivebyte and sendbyte functions. However, since it's
interrupt based, receivebyte seems to be pretty redundant. What I have
now is a UART receive ISR that first does error checking, then copies
the rx buffer to a global rx byte variable, and setting a global
rx_ready flag to 1. Then my receivebyte function does nothing until the
rx ready flag is set, after which it just clears it. Does this make
sense?
.
