What other features will work? The BatteryLevel() one? I think we need to
have a look at the rcx2 commands and see what's working for the Scout.
Also, what does the Scout API include with the program? I know in the RCX it
turns all motor ports forward and full power. If it's eating up much valuable
space it might be better to not include anything for the scout?

| (...) The SetSleepTime() and SleepNow() thing was just sloppiness on my part when reorganizing the NQC API file. Those opcodes are clearly documented in the Scout SDK. I don't think we have to hunt around for undocumented features - just verify that (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)
