PropellerIDE PropBOE Voltage program

Have not made a code contribution in a while, so this is Propeller BOE Voltage Meter.spin setup for the PropellerIDE. I started with Simple ADC test.spin, that code is commented out and ended up with a version of voltage.spin. I am also thinking of making a conversion of this to C, but the lib would contain mostly commands that you would call to use the ADC aspect of the Propeller BOE.
For this particular program, I just have a wire connection between ADC(3) and the 5V socket, I do not have one of those devices to change the voltage stream, so all I really see is 5V. Now that the program works I will hook this up to an external power source, maybe like my window sill solar panel, and check and see if the program really works as expected.
I am running PropellerIDE on my Windows 7 box, and I do not have a problem with the text display, not sure what all the complaints were about in the other thread. The only thing that I noticed was when you hit return at the end of text line, it sometimes carries some text with it to the new line, not sure if this is a feature of some sort.
