Using a Lookup for strings can use up a huge amount of code. And I believe I may have the solution you're looking for.

How to store and retrieve strings in Code Space

Another person that I helped out a while back had his 877 completely maxed out with Lookups for strings to be displayed on an LCD. After converting them to the STRINGS in CODE format, it only took up 1.5K words. Leaving 6.5K for more program. We were both amazed.

And, I too will not be Jumping ship anytime soon. PBP is just to good.
