 | | Aborting from ISR

Hi, Is there any way of ABORTing the current program from the ISR ? I want to attach a routine to 'UserISR and have it ABORT and then execute POWER_OFF when the off/on button is pressed. I would also like to know whether a user program or the idle (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hi Ralph, I don't know if you remember, but I had problems with SAVE-SYSTEM (see msg# 508)... until now! Just to let you know, with pbForth V2.1.5 and (more likely) GUI V2.1.3, it works fine!

Thanks a lot Ralph, And I'm sure you're right. I tried this: 10000 VALUE CTR : test 100 0 DO I CR . CTR 0 DO LOOP LOOP ; For CTR > 11000, the numbers are displayed one at a time. Below 11000, they're displayed in batch. So, it probably means that (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
