Conrad,
LEGO does refer to series of commands as 'stacks'. This comes from the
Robotics Invention System RCX Code interface where a program is a
literal 'stack' of instruction blocks; those who haven't used RCX Code much
wouldn't recognize the reference. I honestly don't know why they
chose 'stack' either; it's caused many people confusion. Although I can't
think of an appropriate alternative term to use in its place. Hmm.

| Ah that explains it! I didn't try RCX Code, I wasn't that keen on it and also it wouldn't run on my NT workstation. I moved straight on to NQC and more recently have been trying RoboLab. That's why I didn't get the reference. Thanks, Conrad. (...) (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
