Thanks for that.  Now I know what to look for I can see it in most of
the example .cfg files :-)

However . . . in the examples the scheduler line is always commented
out.  When I add it I get a runtime error:

        Ned: ERROR: rom/cc-ipc.cfg:51: runtime error Invalid argument (-22)
        
The line is exactly as you added it above.

Thoughts?

Thanks, again.
