many inputs on a bs2 using the bs1 example?

Is it possible to use many switches on one input like the manual says
for a bs1 on a bs2? I have 10 inputs and 10 outputs. The outputs are
red
leds. The inputs are 9 monentary N.O. switches. The other one is a
on/off
slide switch. I'm trying to build this in a hurry. Basicly it will be
a
count down reminder timer for chores around the house.

You can easily expand the number of Stamp I/O lines with simple shift
registers. Take a look at the 74HC595 (outputs) and the 74HC165 (inputs).

right. The problem is my local RS doesn't have them in stock, and I
was hoping to use the pot command like the example in the manual
using the bs1. My other way is to use a rotary switch and diodes.

I have a little article on implementing that on the BS2 posted at:
