i also would be interested in the answer to this question.
i have v1.2, do i need v1.3 before going to v1.5.3?
if so, i know i can get it from P.H.but since we don't have access to FTP,
how/where do i get them?
also, another question:
i have a need to change the number of display lines,i am visually impaired,
and use a speech board that examines display memory. it unfortunately only
can "read" the first 25 lines of display memory. how do i change the number
so lines 26-4x are not used?

thanks for any help.
