Nice, I could use some help with using that LCD screen begin that I have that exact same one from spark fun. I can't seem to post text on the last two lines. Probably because I've tried to modified code for my recent 2x16 lcd and failed.

are you using the same SerLCD with a different LCD screen? if so you will need to reprogram it for a 4X20 LCD screen

The 20x4 has its own ser for it and it came factory programmed. Here it is http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=462 (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=462)
The program code issue is from my microcontroller. I attempted to try and modify the code for 20x4. But all that code is in Basic language and I need to start being a man and use C :D :D

I would switch to C right away... there are many free manuals online that I have found really useful! well anyway, That is the exact LCD w/ SerLCD that I have. If you are using C all you need to do is initalize that uart and then use the printf() function... It is really that easy.
This is a really intuitive C tutorial...
