Yeah, but then I have to write nasal code. If the channel is 099X, there is nothing that I can increment to get the right answer. I need to test each digit and decide to increment, or zero and carry. It just seems a little odd, I would have expected one integer to hold the numbers, and one string to hold the X/Y part. Perhaps I will write some nasal code to live in controls.nas that translates between a single number in selected-channel[0] and 1-3. That way the existing behavior will be preserved, and there will also be a number that can be incremented or decremented between 0 and 126.
