It's no problem - and I hope I didn't sound too patronizing.  Don't let it
put you off asking more questions on this list if you want.  It's not always
easy to follow the documentation - I have also asked about things that were
in documentation I hadn't noticed.  But an understanding of "volatile" -
when to use it, and when not to - is very helpful in embedded programming.

mvh.
