LCD display not working properly

NOPE,

if you use 1 without $FE before, it will try to print ASCII decimal character 1, same for $0F. If you want to mask you data with asterix, just use "*" in your lcdout and forget the #key.

Are you saying that:
LCDOUT $fe , 1 , $80 , "HELLO"
is different from:
LCDOUT $fe , 1 , $fe , $80 , "HELLO" ???

I guess I just never noticed, or tried it.

Yup.. try it.. or read through the macros

1)I tried to include Keypad.bas and tried to compile however it throws an error for the first line i.e. keypad routine as syntax error. If I remove it throws too many errors! in assembler. Is it not necessary to compile. If I don't compile and compile only gate code it says unable to open keypad.bas


@ if HIGH_SECURITY == 1
LCDOUT $FE, $C4 + ComboPtr, "*" ; print a Mask character
if Key = "*" then Reset
if Key = "#" then Finish
@ endif

The compiler also shows errors for
if Key = "*" then Reset
if Key = "#" then Finish

I tried using diff. combination but to no better effect. Can some one help?

Thank you in advance,
