Thanks to both of you, I was pretty close to my understanding of it, but I did not know about the "new block creation behind the current block" but it makes sense now, if I have any other question (I am sure I will) I will def. ask. Thanks again, (...) (21 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) This is the indicator that you are using the datalog. It will fill in more of the circle as you use more of the datalog.
