I don't use spirit.ocx - I work directly with the bytecodes, but I think this info is true for spirit.ocx as well... The number in StartTask(number) refers to a task within a program (each program can have multiple tasks). Typically, you would use (...) (26 years ago, 15-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Is it possible to do this from within a running program? What I read implied to me that the SelectProgram() would stop the current program so it wouldn't be running to issue the StartTask(). It would sure be nice to have a movement program (...) (26 years ago, 16-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It does seem to have the correct behavior for both setting and starting a program. My earlier description of the d2 opcode was a bit brief. Reviewing my notes, the "stop all tasks, set current program, run program" pseudocode is really: stop (...) (26 years ago, 16-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
