The LCD display allows positioning of the cursor and display of state variables in left- or right-justified format. Using a state variable or flag to determine what text to put in a particular spot is also a useful technique. It's usually best to make all of the strings that can appear in a certain area the same length by padding them with spaces. That way, they erase any old trash that was in the same spot. Winscript contains an LCD display wizard that is useful when you are trying to figure out how much space you have on the display.
