In many programs (and the docs) there is a directive called ID.
 

I understand how to SET it but how do you display it?  Using the example from the docs:

 

ID    "GPXv2.1"

 

and put it directly under the FREQ statement and limit it to 8 chars or less.

 

When I try to use Jon's TX_OUT subroutine (for example):

 

TX_OUT   ID

 

it says the ID is a reserved word.  

 

TX_OUT allows a string or byte to be sent to your output device (in my case an LCD panel).

 

 

' -------------------------------------------------------------------------
TX_Out:
' Use: TX_OUT [ byte | string | label ]
' -- "aByte" is variable or constant byte value
' -- "string" is an embedded literal string
' -- "label" is DATA statement label for stored z-String
' --  Written by Jon Williams (Parallax)
  TX_temp3 = __PARAM1                      ' get byte or string offset
  IF __PARAMCNT = 2 THEN
    TX_temp4 = __PARAM2                    ' get string base
    DO
      READ TX_temp4 + TX_temp3, TX_temp5   ' read a character
      IF TX_temp5 = 0 THEN EXIT            ' if 0, string complete
      TX_BYTE TX_temp5                     ' send the byte
      INC TX_temp3                         ' point to next character
      TX_temp4 = TX_temp4 + Z              ' update base on overflow
    LOOP
  ELSE
    TX_BYTE TX_temp3                       'transmit the byte value
  ENDIF
  RETURN
