If you really want to find out what is going on then follow the LCD Addressing link at http://web.alfredstate.edu/weimandn. Make sure you read the information about the LCD Controller Memory, the information about the 40 x 2 LCD, and the information about the 20 x 2 LCD before you try to figure out the 16x2.
