And that is not exactly helpful.  It should report the value as it exists 
while the program is executing this particular loop. Or if interrupted, 
the value that exists at the point of interruption.

FWIW, that debug statement in the program stream does report the correct 
values.

So this behavior, I would call a bug. No clue how hard it will be to fix.  
Can I prove thats it by turning off the blending?

Something else I found too, was that the (msg,text to display) format of 
the debugging doesn't work anymore.  No message is output when it has 
been encountered in the programs execution. I haven't used that for a 
while, but it did work as expected the previous times I have used it. In 
the present case I had two such statements outside of the main execution 
loop, one to tell me to start the Dremel, and another to turn it off as 
at the rpms I had it running, the exhaust fan in the back wall of the 
shop was drowning out the quiet hum of the Dremel only doing about 4k 
rpms.

That particular operation, making a .3755" diameter shaft  3.5" long out 
of some unhardened A2 1/2" rod, took a while of course, but with a 
cutoff disk set at about a 5 degree angle so just the edge of the disk 
face was touching the work, took .1245" off the diameter of that shaft 
with virtually no wear of the cutoff wheel. A work of art when that 
stage was done.  And it fit where the worn Sheldon shaft came out snug 
enough that the backlash between the handle and the screw is less than a 
degree once I had carved a matching slot in the shaft to engage the pin 
in the handle shaft.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
