I figured the baud rate issue, the switch on the 12032 was defective. I used the serial out of my comp at 2400 (instead of 9600) and the display wouldn't recieve. I used a jumper to short the leads of the DIP switch and it recieved just fine from my computer.

Now, my problem is the display won't respond to items of the serout2 unless they're enclosed in quotations and the few letters I've got to show are totally off from what I sent out. For example:

"w" = 3
"12" = g3
"13" = gf
"1" = g
"9" = c
"f" = &

A few that I've tried. For every letter I've put in the item section in quotes, a different one comes out.

Any ideas?????

Thanks...
