This is getting plain silly. If I have this:
EEPROM 30,["R","e","a","d","y"," "," "," "]
EEPROM 38,["D","e","l","a","y"," "," "," "]
EEPROM 46,["1","5"," ","S","e","c"," "," "]
EEPROM 54,["2","0"," ","S","e","c"," "," "]

The run through the sub:

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

Ready will display, but the other 3 strings produce a blank screen. If I replace the "e" in ready with a space " " then it works fine, except for the fact that it now says "R ady". ;-) I have had lots of strange happenings with the LCD, like for instance, I can't display a number ending in "0". Also can't display the name "MCKELLOP". Who knows?....
