Look in the LCD.C file for functions that support the LCD, along
with explanations of them. You will find the lcd_gotoxy() function.
The origin is the upper left cell, and its coordinates are 1,1.
LCD.C is in this folder: c:\Program Files\Picc\Drivers |

That's because you have the \f in there. It clears the screen and
homes the cursor. |

You also have the x & y coordinates swapped. You have:
This will try to put the cursor at column 1 of line 5. You want column 5 of line 1:
The way I remember it is that the x location comes first, the same as in the function name itself, lcd_gotoxy(); |
