Hextor MultiProg 3
------------------
This file describes the software as developed in Hextor 
MultiProgSx3 which is the suit of programs in the folder 
MultiProgSx3.

The suit occupies six of eight pages in the BS2Sx.

Program0
--------
First program to run, 
handles cold/warm start
cold start default action
warm start options/actions
hands control to LCDmenu in Prog6 if nothing else to do.


Program1
--------
runs the Activities defined in DATA statements.
Activities may transfer control to other activities, they may 
call other activities as subroutines, they may call US-
behaviours as subroutines, they may transfer control to a US-
behaviour, they may call Basic subroutines and they may run 
programs in other pages.

Program2
--------
runs the US behaviour rules defined in DATA statements.
Behaviours may call Activities as subroutines, they may call 
other behaviours as subroutines, they may transfer control to 
other behaviours or to other programs.

Program3
--------
has been reserved as an area where the user can experiment with 
direct control of the servos from Basic.

Program4
--------
is free for use by the user. 

Program5
--------
is free for use by the user. 

Program6
--------
runs the LCD menu system which allows all user functions of the 
software to be run. As new activities or behaviour rules are 
written it is a simple matter to link these into the menu, 
details will be given later.
A power-on or reset default can be set which starts the desired 
activity, behaviour or even program to be run automatically. If 
interupted by an IR command or Pendant button press then 
control will pass back to Program0 menu.

Program7
--------
has two routines which wouldn't fit in Program0. They are the 
routine which allows Hextor to be guided from a standard IR-
remote control, and the routine which allows Hextor to be 
guided by the LCD Pendant buttons.
