Thanks for the replies, and for the sample programs. I'll try them out soon.

I'm building a robotic arm (that's why I chose to reply to this message,
not the other, later ones) that I plan to program in NQC.

It does not need multitasking to work, or does it? It's only going to
pick something up, then rotate around, put it down etc. And it will use
2 RCX's as well. The only multitasking thing I could think of would be
to have one task that moved the arm, and one task that checked light
values from the light sensor near the claw.

Maybe this was already answered, but if I run two tasks at once, can I
delay one task? "Rotate the arm with task 1, then close the claw with
task 2, but only when task 1 is done"? It's easier to use functions
then, isn't it?

Again, thanks for the help!

Tobias, 'multi-tasking' means that several tasks run simultaneously. For example, a robot arm could grab, lift and swivel, one after the other, as functions, or simultaneously, as tasks. Or, the RCX could play a tune and a walker could walk, one (...) (24 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
