Here's Nigel's tutorial it is very well done.

You might want to shorte your input commands if your using a 16 character display...
Possibly to just Run press 1 <----13 characters
Exit press 2 <--- 14 characters

What chip are you going to use microC has a sample for how to use a LCD This code from MicroC
Look at it I removed the chip set up so you'll have to look at The LCD module to see what pins to use for your LCD Should be easy to get to work.
Code:
/*
 
 * Set the port you want to use for four bit Lcd
 * Test configuration:
     MCU:             PIC16Fxxx //set for your chip
     
     Oscillator:       xxxx MHz //set for your Oscillator
     Ext. Modules:    LCD 2x16
     SW:              mikroC v6.0
 * NOTES:
     None.  // this is a redid of microC test code just removed what would mess you up
*/

char *text = "Your text here";

void main() {
  LCD_Init(&PORTD);         // Initialize LCD connected to PORTB

  LCD_Cmd(LCD_CLEAR);       // Clear display
  LCD_Cmd(LCD_CURSOR_OFF);  // Turn cursor off
  LCD_Out(1,1, text);       // Print text to LCD, 2nd row, 1st column
  Delay_ms(1000);
  LCD_Out(2,6,"TextHereTo");
}//~!
