Forward, back, and strafe.
If you need some help because it seems like you might be confused, check out this link. It is the team website for Mark McLeod's team up above. They have a great resource for LabVIEW programming on any topic and it was a great help for me this year, and certainly help you out right now.

Frankly, I've never seen anyone place drive code in the Begin.vi - it was my understanding that was for initializing PWM channels, not putting drive code in Robot Main.vi at that point. You may be talking about the Open 4 Motor.vi, which frankly shouldn't be neccessary - I can open individual motors just as easily.
I may seem confused because I believe that I am initializing PWM channels correctly for each individual motor, but nothing seems to be allocated. That website is a great resource, though. I'll be sure to look through that.
