Thanks for the further comments Anton, will investigate ;-)

Now I am having problems using "printf" with my strings... 

if I do : printf("blah blah") it works perfectly, but if I try to use
the array of strings I just defined as constants in ui.c, well it
doesn't work quite as well sadly...


for example :

void main(void)
{

const char a[] = "test";
printf("%s", a);

}

works fine, but  : 

void main(void)
{

printf("%s", param_list[0].desc);

}

will compile perfectly, but it will not display anything...


Do I need to use some variant of the printf function when displaying
data declared with the __ATTR_PROGMEM__ attribute ? Doesn't the compiler
take care of this automatically ? 

Sorry to trouble you all again ! ;-)
