Hello PHM1023,

Thank you for posting on the forum.

I have not seen a way of highlighting the text on alphanumeric displays. What I have seen done is something like this:

1. Settings
2. Phonebook
3. Radio
> 4. Message

The '>' kind of highlights / selects row #4.

I hope this helps.

Oh ok... thanks for the reply... I would like to ask another question regarding programming with the basic stamp. lets say i wanna display from A-Z on 1 row of the 4 x 20 with manual scroll, (e.g. by pressing on a button to do the scrolling) how can i do that? Can illustrate with some examples? Thanks a billion...

ya i have already check the site and they did not mention what I really need. As in the manual it only tell us the commands but did not really teaches us how to use that command. As im new in this field doing a project that need to use such LCD, i was hoping that you guys could help me a little by showing some examples.
