Ahhh, it's hard coded to change your program like that when you edit one
event. It's the early, early version of what I learned to program on and
its frustrating to see, as the latter version compensated for an event
change. The latter version was great because when you finished editing
your programming, you could run the program on a screen, see the path and
'know' when the program stops running an event. That makes it easy to find
the event you need to edit to get it to run correctly. This thing has no
such screen, so you have to test run it and wait for it to stop on a
'continous' event. A big PIA if its a long, long program!

Flatbed as in truck? Is the generator hooked up yet?

Well, imagine laying in the street under your leaking gas tank and
wondering what to do now! I had chewing gum in the car and so chewed a few
sticks and then put that wad of gum in the hole. When it hit that cold
gas, it hardened just like epoxy would only it happened instantly.

Mine is like yours, but I'm not as much electrical as I am mechanical.
Sometimes I design stuff in my sleep and then make it so in the real
world. Take the bow-ties I've made to enhance the Infinity Q56 18" wheels
on my pickup...They're non-rotating bow-ties on a rolling wheel and always
come to level when I stop. The car-wash boys go raving mad over them when
they see them and I demostrate how they work. I can imagine them showing
off their's on ricer-night at the Sonic drivein.
