Besides the initial learning, programming should be ongoing...Ideally, one would be tweaking it all the time! I know I've got a couple banks set up for Repeater control; it works fine, and I haven't touched anything for ...too long. Now I'd have to re-learn how to do it :-( One thing I should change: "Erase Loop" is on my bottom row...a bit too easy to mis-hit. There is no Undo for that.
