Thanks Dale -

I saw that option in the data sheet. But I would need
close to the whole alphabet.

My second thought is to make the selected word blink.
Any ideas how to do this other than displaying the word for
1/2 second and the clearing it for a 1/2 second, etc.
Is there a command to make the charaters blink?
By the way this display is based on the HD44780 controller.

Thanks
