Aha!! (I didn't know where to look exactly for the variable things. This
is the problem with doing things in haste.) I tried to add the variable
but didn't get everything in so got error messages.

It actually didn't take really a long time to change those things to \r
because of my handy editpad. However, now that I understand the a
variable thing, I will eventually make that change too... however, I'm
really not supposed to be playing with this stuff at all right now.

And I think the addition of the tap wave file is brilliant. May I use
that too? Normally I hate sound additions but this is too good to pass
up.
