Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

I'm bumping this because I've done some fair research on the Micron/BCR negative NRPN issue and I was wondering if it weren't easier to implement some clever solution involving data increment/decrement.  Or maybe have a knob send down values in MSB and LSB by twisting it back and forth (using .tx statement to send MSB in one direction and LSB in the other).  So I would have two knobs for the parameters that require negative values.

Or maybe put two messages on a button, both MSB and LSB decrement (or increment) (oh excrement)

Do the buttons on BCR2000 fire repeatedly?  Perhaps with a small delay so that I could hold it to "scroll" down values?

Thanks in advance all you BCGeniuses.
