this is SO cool..

i've scanned the fullhelp txt rather quickly, and also this is at the 
moment a purely theoretical question for me since I currently own two 
LCE's (so without analog inputs), but I guess it should be possible to 
write stuff that monitors the analog input signals ?

I've peen pondering on the possibillity to write my own code to have an 
LCX listen to sensors and run an interactive light-installation all by 
itself. So far I've been using a laptop with an interface for analog 
input for this, but I guess I could do away with those and run 
everything from an LCX instead, no ?
(if I can keep my code concise enough, that is...)

I would have to seriously brush off my forth, though, haven't used it 
since I stopped using my atari mega ST...

ciao,

Joost.
