    Default Question about LCD blinking characters

    Hi !
    I use in my termometer this command, to display the value of an outside temperature :
    "LcdOut $FE, $c0, "Output :", Sign2, DEC (Temperature2 / 100), ".", DEC Temperature2 dig 1, 0"

    It's any way to make JUST the temperature to blink ?
    For example if temperature < 2 'C (danger of glazed frost) , the value flashes ...and the rest of information displayed remaining stable.
    Thanks !

    From PBP v2.60 manual:

    The command:
    LCDOUT $FE, $80 + 4
    sets the display to start writing characters at the forth position of the first
    line.
    So display the text, then display the temperature ON-OFF at will.
