    You can:
    a) just write on top of that location - no need to clear unless you want to
    b) clear 4 digits with any of the following
    Code:
    LCDOUT $FE, $80, REP " " \4    ' perfect the way you have it
    or
    Code:
    LCDOUT $FE, $80, "        "          ' 4 spaces between the quotes
    or
    Code:
    LCDOUT $FE, $80, 32,32,32,32
    or
    Code:
    LCDOUT $FE, $80, $20,$20,$20,$20
    or
    etc.

    Wow...thanks Paul. I really appreciate it when I get specific information like that.

    It helps me learn "completely".

    Can't believe I actually had the last one right....it was an assumption. I'll stick with 4 blank spaces.....my mind likes the higher level language.

    I have poor retention for hex and decimal equivalents and the like.

    Some people can retain that type of info....I can't.
