Ace, glad you caught that, that used to be 500 not 250, dont know why that got changed. I've actually used a fet on the grounds of the lcd backlight to turn the backlight on and off with the pic.
also thanks mackrakit, is this something I can just turn on and leave on with all projects?
if I use the internal timer, I can include the grounds for the whole display on the fet and turn the entire display on and off even after the pic is already running with no bad effects, it only had to do the pause when useing an external/crystal timing source. which is nice because you could take and use an interupt with switch to turn on the display and backlight for X amount of time to save battery power.
