Yes. To be more precise I believe it's 6100 bytes of space. (The SCOUT has 400
bytes of space)

It's that easy...

Well if you can keep all the code in one program it's easier. But you get 32
global variables. All programs can read them. So you can leave your 'bits' where
you want them and jump to another program to use them.
You get 10 tasks that you can start and stop per program. They all run at the
same time.

| (...) Dean, I am not sure that this is correct what you write about global variables. As far as I know, the followoing is correct: - 32 global variables are only valid WITHIN one program slot. - Within this slot, all tasks, functions and subroutines (...)
