*******************************************************************
*
* Function Name:
ReadDataXLCD
* Return Value:
char: data byte from LCD controller
* Parameters:
void
* Description:
This routine reads a data byte from the
*
Hitachi HD44780 LCD controller. The user
*
must check to see if the LCD controller is
*
busy before calling this routine. The data
*
is read from the character generator RAM or
*
the display data RAM depending on what the
*
previous SetxxRamAddr routine was called.
