    It seems that you posted the same time as I did!

    Now I understand what you want. No, you cannot do that the simple way of "blah blah blah".

    You have to fetch each character on its own. Unless, the magician Darrel has another macro available to do the job!

    I don't think even Darrel has the magical mystical powers to pull this one off...at least not with a standard parallel LCD.

    When you put the second group of characters at locations 0,1,2,3 don't you overwrite the previous characters?

    The problem as I understand is that you need many characters and you have only 8 available.

    One solution would be to constantly reload the custom characters with the ones you want to display. But you cannot display them at the same time...
