The WAIT FOR ROTATION and WAIT FOR ANGLE icons do reset the angle sensor
before they do their wait. However, there are several other programming
constructs that will not require the angle sensor to start at 0 every
execution. The LOOP WHILE ANGLE SENSOR IS LESS THAN, LOOP WHILE ANGLE SENSOR
IS GREATER THAN, and ANGLE SENSOR FORK only require a single reset of the
angle sensor at the beginning of the program. This is not really intrusive
since the angle sensor starts at 0 each time a program starts to run anyway.
You can use several of these icons and not reset the angle sensor in
between. You can also use the ANGLE CONTAINER and then use any construct
that uses a container value without ever setting the angle sensor to zero.

I agree the help data should document fixed logic like resetting the angle
sensor before the WAIT FORs. In conparison RIS has a tremendous amount of
fixed logic and very little is documented.

I thought I would pass on what I have learned. Robolab sends very different code to the RCX than you might assume. For example, "Wait for Rotation" will always clear the rotation sensor first! There are a number of other anomalies, such as the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
