Yes, Jose. You are correct. :) For Thomas, I would add: DT "HELLO",0 is equivalent to RETLW 'H' RETLW 'E' RETLW 'L' RETLW 'L' RETLW 'O' RETLW 0 You get each character using table lookup (Microchip app notes and piclist.com for examples), send it to the LCD (also app notes and piclist.com), get the next one and so on until you get the RETLW 0. Then stop. Quentin -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads
