Hi Dave,  ( And everyone else who replied to my cry for help. )

Looks good. I'll have to try the file out. Also, if the I/O is write only,
that means a shift register could be put in to shift out 4-bit data using
only 2 I/O lines. Add 2 data lines to the E line and the C/D line, and you
have 4 I/O pins for the LCD. Not bad.

Thanks for all your help.

Later,

Eric

Eric,
One more thing.....The code I sent in the previous Email, assumes that the RW
line on the LCD display is tied low.  That will save you one more I/O line.
For most things you don't need to read from the display anyway.
