' Vo    20K potentiometer (or ground)
' DB0-3 No connect

   Pause 500       ' Wait for LCD to startup

mainloop:
   Lcdout $fe, 1   ' Clear LCD screen
   Lcdout "Hello"  ' Display Hello
   Pause 500       ' Wait .5 second

   Lcdout $fe, 1   ' Clear LCD screen
   Lcdout "World"
   Pause 500       ' Wait .5 second

   Goto mainloop   ' Do it forever
