well, think of it this way...

if the LED is toggled on and off in the code, shouldn't we be able to use it how ever we want? if they really wanted to, they could code it in to the master chip, so that only when the pbasic chip ran the code the LED went on/off, but they decided to use the code. so, we should be able to use it for our own purposes.

also, you could aways just use it as an alternator. when out7 (the basic run LED) = 1, the basic byte equals pwm output 1, when out7 = 0, basic byte equals pwm output2. anything like that would work fine, and not interfere with how the LED runs.

i just wish that next year, they gave us more control over what is outputed. could they possibly give us another 'Serout' statement, that sent a stream of no more than 26 bytes out to the dashboard. of course, some would be used, and you can't change that, but if at least a few could be changed...
