Not a lot of confusion other than I thought you were trying to teach me 
about a new hal keyword. In any event, without power to the motors, it 
worked. Now I have additional switches to make work to control it, in 
particular I'll use 2 switches and 2 mux2's in the end so that motor 
commands are blocked if the knob is not properly homed in one position 
or the other.

I saw a t-shirt, in ladies style at Wallies a while back, say's "I'll go 
to work when my coffee does". I told the clerk if she had it in mens 
style, I'd take 2 of them.  Still a pint low though.

Thanks Andy.
