[oopic] Silly question (first of many)

Hi
In the following code, if I move the if construct outside of the
event handling code, the robot will not stop. If I leave it in it
will. I've done a few further experiments with the code for the
value of counter - some will work outside the event handler, some
won't why is this? Counter is a global variable so why the
difference?

Dim LeftServo as New oServoX
Dim RightServo as New oServoX

Dim CountAdd as New oEvent
Dim Wire as New oWire
Dim RightWire as New oWire
Dim ScreamWire as New oWire

Dim Scream as New oFreq

Dim Counter as New oByte

Sub Main()

LeftServo.IOLine = 29
RightServo.IOLine = 30
RightServo.InvertOut = cvTrue

LeftServo.Value = 127
RightServo.Value = 127

Counter.Value = 0

LeftServo.Operate = cvTrue
RightServo.Operate = cvTrue
Wire.Input.Link(OOpic.hz1)
Wire.Output.Link(CountAdd.operate)
Wire.Operate = cvtrue
Scream.Value = 61473
End Sub

sub CountAdd_CODE()
Counter.inc
Scream.operate = cvtrue
Oopic.delay = 10
Scream.operate = cvfalse
if Counter.value >5 then
RightServo.Operate= cvFalse
LeftServo.Operate = cvFalse
end if
end sub
