I have THIS serial LCD and I have no clue what Im doing with it. Sigh.

Datasheet:

The DS says it defaults to 9600, I am using a 14M and I think 2400 is highest at 4mhz internal.
I think I need to send the "special" character and "k" to set it to 2400 before I send text to it.
I dont know how to do that.
Once I set the baud rate, how do I send text? It is not looking as "obvious" as I thought. I am trying to use IC pin 12, or output pin 1 for serout.
A little help here would go a long way please. Thanks much!
