Before today, I didn't realize that I was calling f.Input
so frequently! I was just calling it every so often
based on trajectory calculations, not a timer. This code
was originally written in 1995 when I was using a 75mhz
computer. Now that I'm using a 4ghz computer, it's being
called a lot more frequently that it was originally!
The only reason I'm calling f.Input is so that the user
has the possiblity of terminating a long-running command.
So I check to see if the user has pressed a button, and
if so, the command terminates.
