Yes :-) But I tried it both ways just to be safe ;-)

I'll keep trying the command and see if I get it.

The board appears to have some already-built-in code that it runs as soon as
it gets power? The LEDs blink in sequence one at a time and the 7-segment
displays count from 0 to 9 then start at 0 again over and over. Running the
flashing program doesn't seem to interrupt this routine.
