1. <B>Thank you for responding Erik</B> and sorry about the formatting.

2. I just included the part of the code that relates to the
    serial communication.  The ORG 023H is the interrupt vector
    for the UART . 

3. I'm only using RXD to uC so,... I dont think the TI 
   will cause the interrupt???

4. The LCD works. I got several other things working on the 
   side such as Ext. RAM, ADC, etc. so the LCD is not the issue. I 
   Just slapped it in here to give helpers an idea.

RI:
 [quote] <pre>Receive interrupt flag. Set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit time in Mode 0,  
or approximately halfway through the stop bit time in all other modes. 
(See SM2 for exceptions). Must be cleared by software
