I tried a search for { standard LCD instruction codes } on Google, and came up with
LCD Instruction Codes Instruction Code (Decimal) Clear Screen 1 Home position (move cursor top left of display) 2 Move cursor one character position left 16 Move cursor one character position right 20 Scroll display one character position left 24 Scroll display one character position right 28 Set cursor porition (DDRAM address) 128 + addr Set point in character-generator (CG) Ram 64 + addr
'May' need an character . as in
May work.
