I'm trying to use the XLCD functions in C18 to display a simple "Hello
World" message.

I must be doing something wrong.

Hardware is PICDEM 2 Plus board with the PIC18F452 running at 4 Mhz.

What I've done:
1)  Re-defined Data Port assignments in XLCD.H  (lines 35, 36)
2)  Re-defined Control Pin assignments in XLCD.H (lines 46-51)
3)  Changed to small memory model in XLCD.H (line 84)  I was getting
compiler error 1109 "Type mismatch in redeclaration of  putrsXLCD" until
I did this.
4)  Included the 3 necessary delay functions in my program.  (Similar to
the ones shown on pg. 73 of the "MPLAB C18 C Compiler Libraries" book.)
5)  Included all the LCD source files in my project.

As best this newbie can tell, everything compiles fine.  No
errors/warnings.

Programs hangs when it tries to "OpenXLCD (FOUR_BIT & LINES_5X7);"  If I
use my ICD2 to step into OpenXLCD, it hangs on line 117.
"while(BusyXLCD());"  This is the first busy check after setting the
display
interface, lines and font.

Any and all suggestions appreciated!

The only thing I haven't tried is dragging out the 'scope and looking at
some of the signals to/from the LCD.
