FWIW,

I have to agree with those who have expressed the opinion about the
relative insignificance of the LCD - essentially you are converting
the module from an infant (parent computer code is good - blinking
green leds;  parent computer code is bad - blinking red leds) to a
toddler (parent computer code is good - text "I like that;"  parent
computer code bad - text "I crapped in my pants!").

I personally think that Andrew's quest for on board memory, and
whatever ancillary hardware is necessary to do so is more important
that to contribute real estate to provide cursor control.

If it were one thing or the other, I would choose the on board memory
over the lcd display....
