The traffic lights were LEDS, and the walk, don't walk is LCD.

What sort of LCD?
See the 'Tutorials' button for ... er ... some tutorials - including LCDs.

Does that make a difference?

Yes.
A LED is very simple - it's either ON or OFF;
An LCD can be much more involved - you need to send strings of characters to make your messages, and drive control lines with the correct timings.

Unless you particularly want to (have to?) play with LCDs, just using LEDs to illuminate "Walk" or "Don't Walk" signs would be far simpler!

I'm running this in Dos

Do you mean you're running your tools (assembler, etc) in DOS?
You surely aren't running DOS on an 8051...?!
