what is the difference (good or bad) between the above code and the following

$lr_lights_dim = new Serial_Item 'XMK';

if (state_now $lr_lights_dim)  {
set &lrlights '40%';
}


(the above code may not be perfect. I am typing this from work from my memory)

The only problem I have is this. I want M9 off to dim the lights down to 40%. I
want M9 on to turn on these lights and also bring them up to 100% if they were
previously dimmed. The problem i am having is that sometimes when one of the
lights gets turned off and the other is dimmed, when i press the M9 on key it
doesn't brighten back the dimmed lamp to 100% until i turn it off and then press
M9 on again. The other lamp that was off comes back on just fine. I am using the
same code I posted above except for the variables $lr_lights_on and using set
$lrlights '100%';

Is there anything that I am doing wrong? I mentioned in a previous post that The
memory leak was fixed. At least it was last night. I had spaces in the group
declarations for the items in items.mht and it was causing this problem. The
leak then was like 1 to 2 mb every minute.
