How do I display binary on an LCD?

[kitcat]

Hi there.
I can send a number to my lcd display like this:
serout portc.0,6,[#number]
and it shows up as a nice decimal number.
What I want to be able to do is display it so it looks like this 01011010.

if I just send this: serout portc.0,6,[number] it comes up as some nonsense character.
I was expecting to be able to send this:
serout portc.0,6,[%number]
but it ain't having it. Bad token or some such thin.

Can anyone help?

thanks

serout doesnt support modifiers, you will have to use serout2. gives you more control anyway.
then you can just use

Modifier Operation
{I}{S}BIN{1..16} Send binary digits
{I}{S}DEC{1..5} Send decimal digits
{I}{S}HEX{1..4} Send hexadecimal digits
REP c\n Send character c repeated n times
STR ArrayVar{\n} Send string of n characters

vuala.
