John: I have no idea why 170 works. 192 is the decimal equivalent of C0 hex, which is the command to set the Display RAM address to 40 hex; 40 hex is the address of the first position on the second line of the display. Get the data sheet for your LCD controller; it's undoubtedly on the web somewhere, and it'll make your life MUCH easier. -Andy === Andrew Warren - fastfwd@ix.netcom.com === Fast Forward Engineering, Vista, California === http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2499
