Mike,

I'm curious about your solution. It looks like you have something in
mind where you code a 25 state FSM but simplify it using the local
variables and enumerations you mention? I would be interested in
seeing such a solution since seeing different solutions to the same
problem would help me gain perspective on the language.

Thanks,

Roger
