This instruction displays the specified byte string on the LCD starting at the current cursor position.

The string argument may consist of a series of mixed strings (quoted) and byte constants separated by commas. For example:

       OBLCD_Text     223,"C"

will display a degree sign followed by a letter C. 223 is the special character code for the degree sign.

Dialect exclusions: Not available in dialects before 9. Also, not available on SPLat controllers that do not have onboard LCD support (please check the documentation for your specific board and Firmware version).

The text to be displayed must be enclosed in quotation marks. The quotation marks are not displayed on the LCD. You cannot include quotation marks in a text message. Instead use special character codes. Example:

       OBLCD_Text    "Jack said ",34,"Bye",34," and left."

34 is the special character code for a quotation mark.
