Hello, all, Just wanted to give a short resume and say thank you for all who gave their help. The manufacturer prooved, that there is only a possibility of 8 custom characters, which is way too less to invert a whole line consting of 40 different characters. Also in fact there is no CGRAM, it should be named CGROM, there is no way to alter it except by changing the wafer. So I'll have to live with a blinking star to mark the selection or something similar or use a graphic LCD. Let's see, may be I'll be back soon to ask more questions. Thanks again and have a great day! Peter -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
