Ambrogio

After more testing of the DATA command I have come to the conclusion that my very old setup is the cause. I have PBP2.46 and MCSP from ten years ago. Looking at my old code, ten years old, I used WRITE not DATA and I now believe that was because DATA never worked. I wrote a routine just to write to the EEPROM followed by the program fortunately my set up did not overwrite the EEPROM when the PIC was reprogramed, Bruce's FlashLab boards continue to perform flawlessly.

There are three options for the screen setup

1 LOOKUP
2 Embedded string
3 EEPROM

They all work but LOOKUP uses most code space and EEPROM the least.
