Hello Melanie!

Melanie >>You first have to tell the LCD you're using 4-bit mode. The programming manual for your LCD's controller chip should tell you the initialisation sequence that you need to achieve this.<<

That was the problem <grin>. My LCD is over 12 years old, and I cannot find it on the internet. I finally took the chip number and hoped for the best. Thus I have had a lot of trail and errors trying to figure out this LCD. I finally endup up ordering a new one about 3 days ago.

Thanks a million!
