Yea...you are probably right on this one, i'll give you that.

But for the sake of argument (and because I like the way Brad's code is layed out more[no offense]), I think this might work...

// code sample from EasyC (or WPILib)
void Initialize ( void )
{
      unsigned char mode = 0; 

      while ( !IsEnabled() )
      {
            while ( GetOIDInput(1,1) == 0 && !IsEnabled() ) 
            // wait for the trigger, but only if the field is disabled.
            {
            }

	    if ( !IsEnabled() )
	    {
           	 mode++;      // increment mode  
            }
         
            while ( GetOIDInput(1,1) == 1 )     // wait for trigger release
            {
            }

            mode %= 5 ;                         // make sure mode < 5
            SetUserDisplay ( mode ) ;           // put mode in LED for feedback
      }
}
