I suspect that events and subroutines don't mix well and may very well have
software bugs. They both interrupt the sequential instruction address
sequence. I wouldn't be surprized that a subroutine 'return' instruction may
cancel any existing event 'monitoring' sequence. [I have not tested this].

Mmhhh... interesting! that could explain why I had some NQC programs using
events that worked fine and some others that didn't...
Experiments needed!

Thanks Dick,

I don't use Robolab, but I can offer some insight into how the RCX firwmare operates with subroutines (and events) that may partially explain your problems. RCX firmware supports 8 (eight) subroutines per slot. Internally they are numbers 0 to 7. (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
