Geoffrey, in the first place I did not intend to condescend someone, at my age that is not necessary. second, you don't need any help. You've made that clear. Have a nice day! Theo.

Hello Geoffrey, there lead many roads to Rome, there are also many manners to solve a display problem with the help/use of GCB. I think you missed a very important part of the help file: LCD overview. To go there: - Help -> Command References ->Liquid Crystal Display, doubleclick on LCD Overview and it will show you verything about the connection modes 0 to 12. Connection mode tells you something about the used wires but not always! For any question, don't hesitate to ask in this forum. Theo.

I can take care of the LCD_IO 2_74XX174 and LCD_IO 2_74XX164 part and the LCD_IO 1 part of LCD.h if you like. Theo.

Jim take a look at: https://sourceforge.net/p/gcbasic/discussion/629990/thread/1b9bd1b2/ and https://sourceforge.net/p/gcbasic/discussion/629990/thread/1d444d66/ That might help you.

@bed Try this one: The Syntax of Left is: output = Left(source, count) and not output = Left(source, count ,count) Mfg, Theo.

I'm interested in using MCP23017 or even MCP23S17 for using with a cheap 12864; for I2C and SPI. I ordered already 3 in the Far East.

Hello Phil, try this line: Dim country(0),country(1),country(2),country(3),country(4),country(5),country(6) as String * 15 for your line: dim country(8) as String * 15 You mix up two dim commands, the 8 in your command has to do with the size of the array but not with the number of strings (in this case with the name country) I understand that this is a littlebit weird because in other Basic languages the implementation of the Dim command is different.
