' IN_1.BAS (BASIC-X)
'
' Reads switch on pin P2.  If at logic zero (ground), flashes LED on
' P14 three times.  If at logic one (open), displays a string and flashes
' LED one time.  Continually loops.
'
' Routine illustrates how to display a string, use of the sleep command,
' configuring a pin as either an input with internal pullup or as an
' active low or high and use of "if - else" and "for - next".
'
' Note improved "if" over the Parallax Basic Stamp.
