(...) Monitoring is automatic (done by the firmware). Monitoring stops when control leaves the monitor statement, so something like this: while(true) { monitor(EVENTS) { } catch { } } will miss a lot of events. You need to configure the events using (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
