	My untested/pseudo-code DID define SEQUENCE -- but you skipped right
over it when copying it into your file. (from below, before I trimmed)

>> >

	As for a prompt for stopping -- all that was in the "advanced"
pseudo-code using the threading module. You'll have to read the relevant
sections of the library reference manual to figure out what it is doing
(though that is a very simple usage -- normally I'd make the main program
the controller, and use Queue() to create a channel to the thread rather
than using a global name).

	I'm not trying to produce a working program, but only to provide
snippets showing alternative, more maintainable, designs. Changing the
actions of the "robot" in your linear design would require replacing most
of your program -- whereas my example only needs to modify SEQUENCE itself
(and SEQUENCE could easily be replaced by reading lines from a data file).
