I get what you're cooking...I hope
LCDOut is a familiar command, why mess with it? Replace it with SerOut, and you're done.
My master plan includes throwing a few buttons on the unit and using a 4 wire hookup (v+, gnd, tx, rx, maybe an RJ11 phone connector).
If my figuring is right, I'm going to throw in a bit of code that looks for a double $fe (or whatever) and that'll be my signal to send back a code if any keys are pressed. Using an equivalent to an LCDIn command might be a bit trickier (not by much), but that'll come later...

The only big thing left to do is to find a dozen or so LCDs with backlights. ebay maybe?
