James. With my disability it is very painful for me to read and write in=20 the interleaved method. My paragraph indentations are in the exact order=20 of your writings. I don't write code to make it intentionally confusing.=20 You and the others have helped me in a lot of different ways but it=20 still has to be mine in the long run. This is a hobby for me and not a=20 commercial production. Ok, I understand about volatile now. Those functions were setup by the MicroElektronika timer calculator=20 and I will change them after I do some tests. I didn't write them. I=20 only changed some variable names that were wrong. The program does=20 compile even though the logic may not be entirely correct. Thanks, rich! On 7/23/2014 12:10 AM, James Cameron wrote: > On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 11:13:58PM -0500, Richard R.
