I think you may have missed the example you were looking for. I didn't
have access to my workstation to go digging for the file when I
replied earlier. I believe this code does what you want.

There are two function in the xlcd code, putsXLCD and putrsXLCD.

The putrsXLCD is called like:

putrsXLCD("Hello");

This is the entire function:

void putrsXLCD(const rom char *buffer)
{
        while(*buffer)                  // Write data to LCD up to null
        {
                while(BusyXLCD());      // Wait while LCD is busy
                WriteDataXLCD(*buffer); // Write character to LCD
                buffer++;               // Increment buffer
        }
        return;
}
