I thought with the IRC that I'd get responses faster than here - but the forum seems a bit more on-topic and coherent (instant messaging can be a bit scattershot ...)
But yes, totally agree that the community here is one of the best I've found in all other forums/interests I've been involved in (the other is APUG.org if there are any film/analog photographers here ?)...
I learn well by teaching, often by pushing something out of my head I see it more clearly - god help the people the teaching is directed at though ! I hope eventually, if this all works and I have the sense all fleshed out to contribute to the forum in the same helpful spirit that others have done for me

For someone who doesn't know this you could assume that the arrows were imparting some form of directionality (boundaries blurred between simulation/abstraction and mirror of real hardware) .... that combined with the coding experience I've had, which has been an experience of frustration with syntax errors and flow control mayhem when you dont take care of every last keystroke - you can probably understand why I wanted to get to grips with the inequalities before I continued ...
I believe those are meaningless to HAL. They are for visual reference only. Just like a physical wire, you can't impart directionality to it. It connects the two sides together. Which one is an output and which one is an input controls what goes on over the wire. You can completely leave them out and HAL will be just fine with it.
