Using direct bit values rather than that string T() string was a good work around. I'm very glad THAT worked, or else there was a real mess somewhere! I think you'll be happier with that method rather than the T() array in the long run anyway. The T() interface was very inefficient. But I can't explain why it didn't work either.

Special thanks to Dan for FORCING me to understand every single detail. I knew he's right and that there is no magic "make robot" button. :) Hopefully I also taught Dan something about how to teach such things to people who are just as intelligent as him :) but don't necessarily have the aptitude to pick it up so quickly.
Very nice. We have to always keep in mind the meeting folks where they
are at with technical instruction. Great job, Evan, for working through it. I think you may be over the hump with the bitwise details and be on your way to more interesting control logic and your other high level language goals.
oh what's that I hear......... I can hear people chanting in the background, what are they saying, let's take a look, <opening window> AS-SEM-BLY.......AS-SEM-BLY.......AS-SEM-BLY Dan :)
