You were right - the second chunk of 8 characters started at 28h - takes
away a lot of the flexibility - I'd thought of scrolling the display
window over the 80 char ram memory to get a moving message display - but
the fragmentation makes that a little bit of a handful.

shame the data sheet didn't mention any of this!!

thanks again
