Now you've hit it... either that or somewhere out in the world is a money-spinning application for dimming three LED's that I can't figure...

The definition of "Support" is where there is a problem with the product that needs addressing. I think everyone will agree that this forum goes way beyond that... Ultimately, people need to be nudged into thinking for themselves (even if it is as simple as reading the Datasheet, or Manual, or Searching the Forum or MeLabs Archives) - because always asking for an answer and expecting it to be handed to you "ready-packaged, debugged and royalty-free" on a plate is not the way to learn. This will apply to whatever compiler you chose to use.

I assume you successfully initialised your LCD to work in 4-bit mode before throwing data at it?
