Possibly . . . I don't know how to 'recurse' but I do know how to 'curse 
to my heart's discontent'.

I am trying to code a virtual robot mouse which will find its way 
through a maze using intersect,

and will find another, non-recursive way to do things (this is not a 
problem as I was messing around with recursion
because of another problem I had with the thing) . . .

However, as this is the only time I have come up against the recursion 
limit I was wondering
whether there is a way to circumvent it, in the IDE.
