"nErrorValue", etc which is the NQC functionality. Robolab variables
(which they refer to as containers) have pre-assigned names -- "red",
"blue", "user1", "user2", etc.


I believe they use the color convention for localization reasons.  Robolab is
available in 16 (?) different languages.  As the code is picture-based, only the
environment needs to be localized.

Generally speaking, how are text-based languages localized?  i.e are there
French syntax versions of NQC/c++/BASIC etc.?  Or does the syntax remain
English-based while the environment is French-based?

As FLL is international, localization may be another consideration.

Cheers,

Tom
