Chapter 6 The Palm Robot Programmer (PRP) 143

Figure 6-7
In this version of the To-Fro program, the ServoStart and ServoStop blocks have been moved into Subroutines.
Now we can make the robot go back and forth additional times by adding Call blocks to call the subrotuines,
rather than repeating the ServoStart blocks every time we want to add a movement.

Saving and Loading Programs
After creating your program, you will want to save it on your computer for
later use.

Saving
To save any program you’ve created, choose File | Save, or click the Save but-
ton on the toolbar.
You’ll see a standard file Save dialog box. Use this dialog box to navigate to
any folder on your PC. Enter a name for your program and click the Save but-
ton. The PRP will add the appropriate file extension for you. (The standard ex-
tension for PRP programs, in case you’re curious or think it might come in
handy on an episode of Jeopardy,is .prp.)
