Remember : your program is an RCX firmware. With the official firmware you would
have to take off the batteries in order to reboot the RCX. This was one of the
things I disliked most. So, we added the simple feature of something like
"CTRL-ALT-DEL" for the RCX : simply press PRGM and ON/OFF at the same time and
the RCX is reset. (All this is explained in the tutorial / documentation.)

Note : if you clear the background-handler options for any reason, the button
control will only work, if you stopped the normal program with the RUN-button.
(The running man then stands with joined legs. Unlike other systems, with
Ultimate ROBOLAB, the RUN-button is interrupt driven; so you always can stop
your program, unless you disable the RUN-button interrupt, which is possible.)
Go through the documentation to understand the enabling/disabling of monitoring
/ interrupt features.

N.B. : if you disable the option "Initialized", then you start with the raw H8,
with NO configuration at all. At that level you can produce as many crashes as
you want :-) So, be careful here.
