//               INSTRUCTIONS
//==================================================================
//
//  - set Max Particles to 4096
//  - create white cube "board" <15.500, 0.010, 0.800>
//  - create red cube "cursor" <0.050, 0.010, 0.030> & drop AbcText
//  - link cursor (child) to board (root)
//  - send message <= 25 char. to chanel 20
//  - that's all folk's
