The Light Flasher  v7.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This version includes a MAJOR bug fix--the new syncronization method I've
implimented now _actually_ works.  ;)

    This version also includes one new feature:  you can now send the data in
the Sequence Editor to the lights in the same manner as the startup data or
the Direct Comms Data.  Press [x^2] to do this (the key directly below [LN]).

    If you're a first time user, I'd recommend reading the Key Assignment
screens in the program first.  To access these, simply start the program from
ZShell.  When prompted, press [ON].  This will take you to the Main Screen.
From here press [CUSTOM].  This will display the Configure Menu.  Next press
[F1].  This will display the Key Assignments for the Main Screen.  Once you
have finished reading the first page, press [MORE] (it says so at the bottom
of the screen).  This will display the second page.  Continue doing this until
you reach the last screen.  This screen will require you to press [EXIT] when
you've finished reading it.  This will return you to the Configure Menu.  If
you wish, press [F2] now, and this will display the Key Assignments for the
Sequence Editor.  [EXIT] will leave this screen.

    If you do run into trouble, just remember this:  Pressing [EXIT] anywhere in
the program will get you back to where you came from.

The only other thing that I should explain now is this:
    You have to create the "SEQDATxx" strings in the calculator's home screen.
They cannot be created (yet) in the Light Flasher program.  When you create
the sequence, simply determine the number of steps you want in the sequence,
then store that number of characters to the "SEQDATxx" string.  It doesn't
matter which characters you use (letters or numbers), but I'd recommend just
spaces.  This seems to be easiest for me. ;)

*A quick note:  _MAKE SURE "SEQDATxx" IS A STRING!!!_  I haven't really tried
it with anything else, so keep this in mind:  If you make "SEQDATxx" anything
other than a string (e.g.: a REAL number) you do so at your OWN RISK.  I have
no idea what editing another variable other than a string will do.  Bear in
mind that it COULD CRASH THE TI-85!!!  (Uh oh...)

    Well, that's about all I can say now...  I hope you enjoy this!
Remember:  BE CREATIVE!

    E-Mail me (Keith) at tsk3000@Prodigy.Net if you have any additional ideas
OR if you NEED ideas...  I've gotten really good with this stuff. ;)

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!
