Just noticed something while tweaking up the voice commands for depth and course as mentioned above - all of the course-related commands are relative to current heading (e.g., come right (or left) xx degrees). Is there any chance of making it work so that you could order a course in "absolute" terms, i.e., "make your course 60 degrees"? It seems like there should be some way to do this by formula, if there's any way to know what your current heading is, but maybe there's no way to automatically get this info to your speech program.

Perhaps you could set this via some sort of variable command (like you do with the resetting your tubes thing) - for example, first say "current heading xx degrees", followed by saying "make your course yy degrees". Then the program could compute how many degrees (zz) left or right you needed to go by properly comparing yy to xx, and then trigger the same mouse click command as if you had spoken "come left (or right) zz degrees".

Any chance something like that could work?
