Really... It can be a useful feature, Megazeux never had such a feature right now...

so simply put: Is it worth it? or is there another workaround?

Ok... Forgot that one!
And what about using board reads from MZX?

Example: Instead of inputting a string via a robot and then reading from string... Extra Code and Clutter

Reading from board info is unfigureable right now (?)

Updating version to: None

There's no use for a counter to read adjacent board names. Since you would have to always read it into a string first before checking it, it takes up more commands to read than just keeping track of board names in strings and updating the board edge when/if those ever change.

This should be a few strings then, so it could read indirectly from boards N, S, E, and W:

BOARD_NORTH
BOARD_SOUTH
BOARD_EAST
BOARD_WEST


like BOARD_NAME, except for the boards surrounding it... It is not major to add such a feature, but this lets me do some robot code that would be less cluttered, easy to use!

BOARD_NAME isn't a string, it's a function counter. You have to read it to a string before you can use it. Any new string function counters would have to be treated the same. There's no point until real functions get added, then the commands could be replaced with whatever we want, honestly. That's a bit down the road.

Sorry for the late response!

Ok... It is a function counter! But still: Is it okay to do this, even if it takes until 2.85?

No update on it yet? I hope someone responds to this still, I am hoping for one.
