How do I control the turntable without conflicting with LDCC control?

Whoops, I meant to comment about this, too.  LDCC responds to the
message 1, 2 & 3 buttons from the remote.  The remote uses LASM
opcode 0xD2 to send these messages.  However, there is another
opcode, 0xF7, that can be used to send messages 0 to 255 to an
RCX running the standard firmware.  LDCC ignores this opcode, so
there should be no conflict if a program like Full Throttle (or a
track automation program) could generate messages using the 0xF7
code.
