Well, yeah, normally it is paired, but this is just a trick. If there is

I've never seen any of those things either, but since so many others have, I
wonder if there actually might be a problem with the interface. I'd like to be

IIRC each "unlock screen" is paired with a "lock screen" so calling both

I thought I had figured out the display of Unicode glyphs in LC 6.6, and
then ran up against a threshold where the value of a character is

I don’t know what you mean by “multiple handlers … simultaneously”. Wouldn’t
one entire loop be inside a wait of the other?
It seems like it would be easier to use send loops at the right level of

So are these two the same but the first has no time hit?

I’ll have to try this. The wait makes the loop a lot slower.

you to run multiple handlers with repeat statements simultaneously. I

Look at the function value().
I would also consider looking at arrays. You can use ‘combine’ to put values
into the array and then use ‘repeat’ to clean up by removing the quotes.
