Or more like
SEROUT2 lcd,baudR,pace,[ 255, 8] ' Back Light OFF
SEROUT2 lcd,baudR,pace,[ 255, 0] ' Back Light ON
depending on how you connected the backlight of course
the code I use are similar, you can try to adapt.
for the Hitachi HD44780 the decimal 254 represent the low RS then you need ot receive the line # as 128 line #1, 192 line #2, 148 line #3, 212...
OOP'S!
usualy I code in both Positron & PBP3.
here's the PBP3 code. (added Pause C)
The backlight is controlled by 255d and 0d or 255d and 8d.
Have yet to send some text over the LCD.

Tried to test Richards code, but seems i cant make the LCD work at all.
For starters the Backlight does not turn off.
What is the sequence that should be sent over the serial port to control...
This code is not for PicBasic dialect...
Ioannis
Here's a shrink down version for displaying messages from internal arrays no serial input involved.
practical if just an operating device with control buttons attach to the remaining 5 ports is...
yes that's a very good idea, the one I have tested are 1601, 1602, 2004
