I do not understand how to send a variable to the LCD with the SX.  I am storing a variable from an ultrasonic distance sensor. (MaxBotix - MaxSonar EZ1  http://www.maxbotix.com/MaxbotixHome.html)  I am trying to convert that variable into ASCII characters so I can use the serout  command to display that value onto my LCD screen (Parallax Item code  	27979).  I tried modifying a code from another thread "Sending a variable to a serial LCD" in the Best SX Threads Index, but I do not understand how it works.  I pasted my code below for the ultrasonic sensor portion.  I want to be able to take the variable time, and display that value to my LCD.  I appreciate any help.
