I used RP's original Mouse/Do until FN Button loops, maybe with an extra
one. If it wasn't working at each click, chances are it was in a
While/Wend/Do Until loop for the multiple FN Button checks...One good long
click usually reset all just fine.

One would use something more elegant in real program life of course.

What do you expect from aliens anyway, having to translate all this from
Black Hole Binary back into Earth bits? Then you have quantum phase
shifting, gravimetric shears of all variety, most of such a type that a
local barber couldn't make a cut with them without seriously distorting
your head. It is a big bag of hullaballoo. Then throw in Zero-G... these
are all weighty matters one can see.
