interrupt enable

[3dude_2231]

Hi all

been thinking about interrupts,
I didn't really dig into Kevin's code,
but if I'm not mistaken, enabling the interrupts is done by a '#define',
and is done only once, to affect the entire code, I might be mistaken here, but..

I don't want the IR affecting my teleop period's maneuvers, so.
I wanna disable the interrupts altogether, and this can be done by putting this:
INTCONbits.GIE = 0;
at the beginning of teleop code,
and this:
INTCONbits.GIE = 1;
at the beginning op autonomous mode.

now, some questions:
1. am I right?,
does the GIE (general interrupts enable) bit apply to all of the interrupts?
I havn't dealt with ints for a while now..

2.is that even necessary?
are the interrupts enabled in teleop anyway?

thanks in advance,
Ran.
