thanks for the reply. i need to write at program time and to change the name at runtime.
Code:
for address=0 to 14
    READ address,asciichar
    LCDOUT asciichar
next address
is the variable "asciichar" an array, or just a single byte?

i was browsing around the forum and came across this line of code:
Code:
lcdout str variable\15
is this possible? and what about arrayread and arraywrite?
