David,
     Let's try this again. I decided to use a 18f4550 instead of the=20
16f877a. Sorry about that. The PIC and LCD initialize but I can't get=20
the LCD to accept and display any data such as a or b or hello there and=20
so forth. I have been discussing the 4550 all along and you were under=20
the impression that I was using a 877. My fault.
Thanks,
rich!
