One thing that I have left to do with regards to Joystick support for the Pandora is to allow the programmer to set the 'nub' mode of the Open Pandora controls, which can be configured on the fly to act as either joysticks, nub0=mouse/nub1=mouse buttons, buttons, and so on. In order to facilitate this mode switch, however, the Program would have to be reset after the mode switch - one easy, user-friendly way to do this would be to have a "return_to_editor()" function call available that would end the program and, as suggested by the descriptive name, return to the Lua editor. It might also be an interesting way to build apps that encourage continued programming by the user. :)

That's a good idea indeed, so we may add editor() and reset(), the first just returning to the editor, and the second equivalent to press two times the ESC key for a complete program reset? Thanks for the good suggestion.

Seems about right to me .. only I'd preface the method names with load81_editor() and load81_reset(), just to avoid the confusion, Bruce ..
