[oopic] Help with incoming Serial Communcation from PC to ooPic-R I2c LCD03

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me with this problem... I have been fighting
with my ooPic for a week now with no luck :(

Hardware:
(1) ooPic-r
(2) Devantech LCD03 (I2C)
(3) Laptop with RS232 Serial Port

Objective:
Using Visual Basic 8 on a Laptop to transmit a short line of text
(String) over the RS232 Serial Port that will be displayed on the LCD
on the ooPic-r

Issues:
Converting the output(byte?) from the ooPic's received buffer to a
string to be displayed on the LCD

Accomplished thus far:
(1) Visual Basic 8 software to send a line of text and received and
convert bytes on a line of text(string)
(2) LCD03 setup
(3) Convert to string to byte to send to LCD03

Could someone please help me figure out how to convert the data
coming from the serial port to a string that can be sent to the LCD03?

Regards,
Angelo

ooPic software thus far:
