I did it by buffering the text in RAM, then updating the entire display.
This way because I knew it would work first time.

A more-elegant and less-RAM-usage-on-PIC alternative would be to write the
data to the display, and use it's memory to buffer the data.  You can shift
the data by telling the LCD to display a different portion of the buffer
(called shifting?)
