In case anyone is trying to use mikroC's LCD libraries to work with a 16x1, you need to know that the controller of most (single controller) 16x1s thinks the last 8 characters are on row 2. Code like the following will work. Good luck.
Lcd_Custom_Out(1,1,"01234567");
Lcd_Custom_Out(2,1,"89ABCDEF");
PS. A note in the mikroC manual would have saved me several hours of frustration. Hint
