1. A machine control system comprising:

  • an operator input device for generating a machine direction signal in response to an operator action;

    an integrated circuit stored program computer including(a) an integrated circuit read only main memory for storing instructions,(b) an integrated circuit alterable memory for storing computer operands,(c) input logic for generating a computer input signal in response to the machine direction signal generated by said operator input device under control of the instructions stored in said main memory,(d) storing logic for storing a machine direction related operand in said alterable memory under control of the instructions stored in said main memory in response to the computer input signal generated by said input logic,(e) processor logic for processing a machine direction related operand stored in said alterable memory under control of the instructions stored in said main memory, and(f) an output circuit for generating a machine direction command signal in response to the processing of the machine direction related operand by said processor logic; and

    a machine controller for controlling direction of a machine in response to the machine direction command signal generated by said output circuit.
