its1000,
Here is a link to a page detailing how to communicate with LCD's of various sizes.
If you scroll down it shows that the 4x20 is actually a 2x40 with the two lines broken into 4.

Take a look at how the characters are addressed.

This may not be a solution but it was in the back of my memory from earlier days...

as it is interpreted by the basic interpreter, I don't know if they took this in count. I will try to use it knowing this to see if it works.

thank you very much.

Hi Heckler.

It's important to help people when they help you and you helped me...

It works !!! thank you.
all I have to do is considering line 1 is a 40 char line splitted in line 1 and 3..
so If I type
lcdprint "HELLO------------- THANK YOU HECKLER",0,0
it prints:

HELLO----------

THANK YOU HECKLER

so I can now use 4 lines LCD I really thank you A LOT !

every day is a new discover of ESP Basic usage... Thank you MMISCOOL too!
