Why not clear the screen, move the cursor to the first position, print the message?
Code:
CursorPos VAR BYTE          ' 0=first line first char, 64=second line first char (I think, usally...)

CursorPos = 1
GOSUB Clear_and_set_cursor
LCDOUT "Report to pit"

Pause 2000

CursorPos = 5
GOSUB Clear_and_set_cursor
LCDOUT "STOP"

' and so on

END

Clear_and_set_cursor:
   LCDOUT $FE, 1, $FE, ($80 + cursorposition)
   RETURN
/Henrik.
