Your reference to "whole top line" suggests to me 1} you have a two-
line display, 2} you are only initialising it for 1-line display and
2} you have the contrast control set wrong.  You *DO* have a contrast
control fitted, don't you?


Yes there is contrast control, but when I had the display set up for 1 line it
was very dark required min contrast setting to read. In 2 line mode it looks
fine.



 Frankly, the instruuctions for these things, *when* you find them
(I'll quote the sites again on request - really *must* put them on my
web page!) aren't terribly easy to understand.

 I agree, I found a lot of info on initialization. Got that without to many
problems. I thought writing to it would be the easy part.


Thanks

Jon
