Re: The correct code

Viviane,

One technique that I've used during development is keep the <taskname>
ACTIVATE words together and rather than include ACTIVATE in the task
itself. This allows me to test my routines on the console (or in the main
terminal task). This way I don't have to modify the words to use them as
tasks. In your working code, you would make these small changes:

: SEQBITFLASH BEGIN PAUSE ... code ... AGAIN ;

After this is done, this action can be assigned to a TASK, so:
TASK ACTIVATE SEQBITFLASH

Its a small difference but makes clearer that SEQBITFLASH is a task started
with the name TASK. In function, yours is identical and works perfectly.
Its just a readability issue.

Cheers,
Noel
