Thank you for the enlightenment about 'environment show-wordlist'. Does your comment about environment queries can't be compiled mean that in the definition of 'task'
s" /user" environment? if allot else 24 allot then \ default user size will always give 24 allot ? My original problem with the hanging system did not appear again. I have a stronger power supply now. Maybe the old was a bit too weak and could not drive the servos. Something in 'task' disables the interrupt and erratic servo movements can draw a bit of power.
