PaulS:
When people post code that has obvious issues, and then say "but that's not the part of the code I'm having problems with", I no longer feel compelled to help. Good luck.
Well then your not very patient nor very good at reading code, because the code compiles perfectly and works excellent with the current alphanumeric LCD, I didn't ask you to fix any problems with the code....I asked if you know how to replace an "alphanumeric LCD" with an "Smart-GPU color display"......thats it.
Well thank you for your time, and please don't judge me for trying to help YOU, help ME.....
