Reason: the Hitachi controller doesn't have an "invert" function. You can invert up to 8 characters by writing the appropriate bit-maps to the 8 bytes of user-defined characters in the CG RAM array, then mapping those characters to the right spot in your line. Or - you might consider doing what I've seen done before - blinking the entire line, or just having a blinking cursor somewhere on the line. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax www.trinity-electronics.com Custom Electronics Design and Manufacturing -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
