O.k.,

I've never had this happen before, and don't know why it's doing it
now.  A program as simple as:

task main()
{
  SetPower(OUT_A,7);
  OnFwd(OUT_A);
}

won't stop running after i hit the "Run" button on the rcx (1.5).
Also, the little person in the display window doesn't move.  The
program runs fine (motor goes on), i just cant stop it.

Like I said, this has never happend to me before.  And i tried the
simplest of programs to make sure it wasnt something in the code
itself.  Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

thanks in advance,
jeff

(...) If the person stops running, then that means the program has stopped. The "Run" button stops a program and turns off the motors. However, when a program finished normally (with nothing more to do), the motors are left in whatever state the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
