2x16 Serial LCD, Non-Backlit

Hello,

I have the BASIC Stamp 2, and the Board of Education.
I have started the "Stamps in Class" course titled "Smart Sensors & Apllications."
I have a question concerning the "2x16 Serial LCD, Non-Backlit" (part #27976). This LCD is the subject of Chapter 1.

One of the listed functions of this LCD is that it "wraps to the next line automatically for easy display of text strings."
Well, everything worked fine from page 1 until I got to the example program on page 12 - LcdTestNumbers.bs2.

The string of numbers 0 to 12 did not wrap properly to the next line; i.e., the numbers 8 and 9 are missing on the LCD screen.
Here is how the numbers appeared on the LCD screen:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
10 11 12

I have determined that 4 spaces are missing between the numbers 7 and 10 where the LCD is not wrapping to the next line: 8_9_

The baud rate (9600) is set properly and the program code is as shown in the lesson.

What am I doing wrong?
How is it that the LCD is not wrapping properly after the number 7?

    Vala, I believe this is being handled by our Tech Support Dept. (Dave) via a phone call from you. Take care.
