Multiple command_lists

Can we re-create the data structure in different iterations in a .c file?

Kevin, I would feel a lot better if you moved a little farther from the cliff!

If it was me, we have used thumb wheels in the form of binary input to some digital I/O. So we work out which program we are going to run before the match starts, set the thumb wheel to select the program we want to run. In code it sort of looks like this:

if (thumb_wheel = 1)
	{
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	}


if (thumb_wheel = 2)
	{
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	}

if (thumb_wheel = 3)
	{
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	do these commands;
	}
