    Thanks Dideco for your input, I will carry on with Darrel's method for now as I find it quite interesting and I have been at it for a while. Darrel, here is what I have found so far. I have been able to get your Hijack routines to work without any errors. I am now able to see a perfect display on long lengths of cable. I have tried 20 to 40 ft of 22 awg multi-cable and the display is perfect. I did not need to adjust any delays. I have not been able though, to get the displays to switch properly using the method you described for your 2 LCD's on one pic display method. Have a look at Display_1 and you will see the display is correct using your sample code. On Display_2 you will notice that there are problems on both displays when using the hijack routines.

    Thanks.
