Yes, seen that one many times too. Ya know, I just remembered from back when you and some others helped me get going on storing the strings in EEPROM that "Flash Program Write" is disabled for the 16F648A. So, I guess that means that none of the program code space options will work for me. The peekcode/pokecode commands do use program code space right? I probably just need to do a new board design and go to a bigger chip. I do have a lot of features that I want to add and will need more pins anyway at some point.

Probably as you said, need to go to a bigger chip...but...
If you think about it a bit, depending on how your hardware is set up, you might be able to stack a serial eeprom chip, like a 24LC256 on TOP of your 16F648 chip (assuming it's a DIP style chip) and store all of your strings in it that way.
It's kinda a half-a$$ way of doing things, but hey, if it works........
