 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Won't.  Only way to use button 2 analog is

	Once an .ADV has been downloaded, you don't have to re-load it again,
unless you make changes to the .ADV file.  The WCS II will need to be 'woken
up' when you power on, by pressing button one.  (Same as you do after 
downloading an .ADV.)
