and when the LCDOUT is in a FOR-Next loop it screws up the placement of characters as well and in a random fashion?
Anybody?

If you want "What's up Doc?" (and I will paraphrase from the manual) try this
Code:
LCDOUT $FE,1  'Clears the screen
LCDOUT $FE,80+4,"What's up Doc?" 'Starts at line 1 four places right
No white spaces and reliable. Works the same for other lines too. $C0 is the second line --$C0+3 would be the second line 3 places to the right.

remember that 80+4 = 84 so $FE,84 works.
