Any comments?  The only name I'm really unhappy with is • "RevertOutput".

ObvertOutput?

I think RevertOutput is fine.  I actually wonder how often that call
will end being used in user's programs?

The InvertOutput command seems very useful to me.  If you swap the power
connectors on your robot then you can just add a few InvertOutput
commands to the program to get it working again.  I have always written
macros like:
GOFWD
ROTLEFT
ROTRIGHT

and then have gone and swapped what they have done.  Now I can just swap
one thing, which is even easier.

(...) The only problem is that "revert" implies that invert must be called first, and I don't think that is the case. (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
