Re: EDP reprograms itself tonight

[andy butler <akbutler@tiscali.co.uk>]

somehow you managed to change to Delay Mode

the parameter is called LoopDelay=DEL on older machines

don't know if that name got changed for later models,
but it's the parameter at the bottom left on the grid

(or did the EDP manage that on it's own?
it's hard to tell sometimes)
