Thanks for the reply. On your reccomendation, I looked at some print examples, 
but didn't need anything as powerful as printf.
I just created a print_LCD (unsigned char* message). function. Here's the 
working code for anyone at my level...

void WriteLCD( unsigned char* message )
{
?unsigned char i;
?
?for( i=0; i<32; i++ )
?{
??if( !message[i] )
???break;
???
??DATA_OUT(message[i]);
?}
}??
Thanks for the lead.
Ron

If you define your own function putchar to send characters to the LCD, you can 
use printf to print strings. It should call your putchar routine.
