Hi there

Well, I have the line:
Serout LCD_SerialIn, LCDMode, [$0C] ' display on

Since the spec defines it as : 00001DCB
where:
D = display on
C = cursor on
B = Cursor blink on

So, $0C = 0000 1100 = display on, no cursor, no blink

Your suggestion of needing to pass it "13" is 1101, ie: display on, no cursor, blink on.

Any other thoughts on what to look for, would be appreciated !

-Bye

ps: yes, I did try your suggestion too ! ... no luck
