Send Indiv Chars to 2nd Line of 2x20LCD(uses HD44870 Ctlr)

Archiver

Would someone be able help me with code to send indiv chars to the 2nd Line of a
parallel LCD Display
2x20 which uses the Hitache HD44870 Controller. I can send chars to the 1st
line, but am stumped in
how to send to 2nd line. Have been puzzling over "LCDDEMO2.BS2" code I
downloaded from Parallax
from stamptech@p..., but so far am getting nowhere fast. Thanks
much. Kindest regards,

I dont know if this helps with parallel, but,
with serial displays, to send to the first character on line 1 you send
254,128 with 254 putting it into command mode, and 128 being the location
of character 1 line 1.

to go to character 1, line to you send 254, 192 with 254 being command mode
and 192 being character 1, line 2.

Cheers,
Chris
