The StampWorks Manual has examples of this.

It could be easily done with two FOR...NEXT loops.· In the first one you would draw the text at the home position plus the value of the index in the FOR...NEXT loop.· You would have to erase the previous character too.· Once done you do the reverse, erasing the last character when it's "on-screen".· I hope this helps.· Take care.

Ah, sorry I missed the [noparse][[/noparse]important] point that he was using serial.
In the Stamps in Class Forum, Andy Lindsay has made a sticky-thread with a project list.· One of them is "Getting Started with the Serial LCD" and the 4th activity (5th post) under that link is about scrolling text.·
I hope this is what you are looking for!

·· Yes, Activity #4 is exactly what he needs.· Thanks for the follow up.· I missed that one myself!·
