Now I have assambled all the components and it works!
The LED is connected to pin 17 and all I had do to was to modify the script so if I want the LED "on" I change the "control" value that is sent to the LPT.
Maybe I will make a schematics for my unit. If so, I upload it here.
Base + 1 = inputs (pin 10,11,12,13,15)
Base + 2 = contol (pin 0,14,16,17)
I was testing some yesterday and it seems that I could use pin 17 to control the led.. Haven't tested with a LED yet, but will do that later today.

Do you mean as the link or the attached picture?
Ok... how? is it a programming thing?

Are you shure?
The LCD has 14/16 pins where 10 of them are connected to the LPT (pin 1-9 + 16). Pin 10-13 + 15 of the LPT is for input. Pin 18-25 i ground...
Ok... Is there any other way to do this?
If not, is it possible to have the led turned on/off with key 1/2 without the LPT do this? So, if i press "key 1" it both sends signal to LPT and maybe to an IC that turns the led on. And when "key 2" is pressed the LED goes off.
Hi!
I'm trying to build a "remote-control" to my software (written in Delphi 6) with a LCD display, some keys and a LED.
What I want is:
When I press a button (on my circuit) I read that value from the LPT port and start a process in my application. The application now shows some info on the...
