Box change
Presents a box asking you to type in the number of control boxes you have connected to the computer. Each control box you have will add 8 rows to the grid. Here you can decrease the number of control boxes (and thus rows) the grid has, keep it the same, or increase it. Keep in mind that the more control boxes you have the longer it takes to compile the grid when you go to play the grid. If you choose to decrease the number of control boxes, the data contained in the deleted rows is lost. If you choose to increase the number of control boxes, the additional control boxes will be added at the bottom of the grid and existing data will not be affected.
Valid values are 1-106.
