Think I answered my own question...looks like you just setup LCDOUT...display it and go about your business.

Either pause or....

Start:
LCDOUT "blah blah"
Here:
Goto here

So the LCD will continue to display unless it's written to again.

So, let me ask, if you want to display multiple messages on LCDOUT, it would be best to do them all at the same time right?

Lets say you wanted to display up to (4) 8 letter messages on a 2X16 display that would respond to some input conditions.

Better to....

check inputs 1 through 4
display

then to
check 1
display

check 2
display

etc. ?
