Mike,

I was following this thread and wondered how I might store my menu items without spaces.  I have a DO loop that also calls LCD_OUT  but it is in a separate function.  I was going to try modifying it to return the number characters it writes and use that to write spaces to the display like you do at the end of LCD_STRW2.  I'll let you know.

Did you have some thoughts on how you would indicate the active menu item on the screen?  I display a right-pointing arrow as a cursor in the first column.  To move to another item, I use a four-position switch to navigate (eg, down moves the cursor to the next item and up moves it to the previous item).  There is some administration to provide for moving the menu around on the screen but that might be a different post.
