After a few pints of insperation juice (beer) I think I have a plan for
multitaksing the the above.

There is an an obey file that returns to the computer very quickly I
can't remember which one at the top of my head.

So you select the logging switch to save the log info to file scrap
would be the best place, and in the polling loop check to see if that
file is there and when it is carry on.
