That way, you would only need one address and you could access all the moves.
It was really neat, but the more I thought about it the more I thought it was cumbersome to have to enter a new address for everything. I got to thinking it would be neat to do it with the function keys.
Good deal! I worked in a foundry so we used the extra hook for flipping stuff over and pouring the ladled iron into another ladle to cool it off some. I wish I had video of that second part because you just don't see 60 tons of liquid iron pour like water from a cup everyday.
This part with the address is something that concerned me as I got to reading. It would be annoying to have to swap addressed for every little thing but I haven't read up on the function keys. I just read about a super basic DCC setup.
