How to display on the 2nd line of a LCD

Hi all!

I'm running a BS2sx and trying to display the time, temperature,
status, etc on a 2x16 MH44780 LCD. I can get the first (top) line to
display text, but I can't get text to display on the bottom line. I
know there's a way of doing this using the LCDOUT instruction on the
BS2p, but how does one do it with the BS2sx?

Any help?

Steve

    The first position on the top line is "128", I think you need to send the
    first character of the next line to "192", at least thats the way it is with
    serial displays.

    Download StampWorks experiment #12 from the Parallax web site. It will give
    you everything you need to know. When you get to the site click on
    Resources, then StampWorks Experiments, then select the project..
