I have also tried this idea.  Thanks for the suggestion though.  To be more
exact about the character I am getting though, it is a letter Y with two
dashes in it.  Each dash being a third from the top and a third from the
bottom.  I am at my wits end.  Any help would be appreciated.  I have also
tried different boards and LCD panels to make sure it wasn't that.
Once again, thanks in advance.

I am having a problem with this line: printf("\\n"); It is print some strange ASCII character that looks like an upside down broom and I need it to print just a "\" (minus the parenths of course). I have also tried this: int d; d=92; printf("%c",d); (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
