Man, this thing is a pain in the booty. Using eeprom works great until i get more that about 30 characters saven in it. Then my LCD just displays black rectangles/blanks. If I delete all of the charcters from eeprom and just leave about 50, it works fine? I dunno, maybe the pic nees a pause somewhere at startup to read the eeprom? Here's the sub:

EEtext:
LCDtextNm = 0
For EEnum = EEnum TO EEnum+7
Read EEnum, LCDtext[LCDtextNm]
LCDtextNm=LCDtextNm+1
Next EEnum
LCDOut STR LCDtext
Return
