Hi

The variables are 16 bit signed (-32768 to 32767), but the loop counter is
only an 8 bit unsigned (0 to 255).  When you set the loop counter from a
variable it ignores the high bits and truncates.

Yep you're right Dave and I feel pretty stupid. The loop command is only good
up to 255, so I'm now using a while...end while. I need to learn to read the
RCX SDK parameter table a bit better.
So much to learn, so much fun.
Cheers ;-)
Mike
