the HD44780 table states that a solid block is char 255.. but if i try it in LCD smartie i get two blocks.. What am i doing wrong?

There is no single HD44780 character table - so I guess 255 isn't a block character on yours.

You have two choices - find the block character (assuming you have one), but using Chr(1) Chr(2) etc

Define a full block character using $CustomChar(...
