on vers 5.3 to get the full display to work i needed to tick the "Use alternative addressing" but this is not on the 5.4 version but there is a box for startup parameters the example under the box shows "PORT[,m,a1,a2]"
i have tried $378[,1,a1,a2], $378[,1,a2], $378[,1,a1] all give the same half display
can anyone advise what should be in there for a HD44780 1x16 display?

no brackets, use 0 or 1 for booleans (or y/n)
