after a few hours.. I finally got my acjr and dc8 working. it is primarily to operate my 4 halides. I have a1--a4 assigned to the lights. the rest a5-a8 I want to be standard plugs.. i THINK i have everything set right except plug a5 (first on lower row) isnt working. it displayeda solid black box. i deleted all other commands so that only my 4 light commands are entered and it still isnt working. can you help??

If what you want to do is to have plugs 5 -8 always on, then just assign a timer name to each plug and then enter a program statement like: IF TIme >00:00 then TIMER NAME ON

Did you create a timer statement to turn the plugs on? Create one for each plug and turn it on and see if that makes a difference.

The on/off state of the outlets is undefined since you have no program statements associated with them. I suspect that outlets 6-8 were turned on by the program statements before you deleted them.
Add a timer name and then add program statement for each of the outlets to turn them on (If Time > 00:00 Then TIMER_NAME ON).
