+Digilines Switch
+----------------
+* This block is only available if both digilines and mesecons are loaded.
+
+Digilines switches act as both a digilines message target and a digilines
+cable, as well as a mesecons power source. They can be placed beside each
+other to form a bank, horizontally or vertically.
+
+Right click the digilines switch to give it a channel.
+
+Mesecon power can be delivered at 6 sides of the digilines switch, the
+adjacent 4 in the (x, z), above and below. Around the connector on these
+sides are a colored border indicating the side. The sides are named "red",
+"green", "blue", "yellow", "white" and "black".
+
+The digilines message sent to the digilines switch dictates the action,
+"on" or "off". The action can be followed with the side to act upon,
+separated by a space. eg. "on white". If a side is stated only that side
+is acted upon. If the side is omitted (or is invalid) all 6 sides are
+acted upon. If the side name "switch" is given the power is supplied the
+same as a mesecons switch (all horizontal sides, one below, this height
+and one above).
+
+A note on connecting mesecons wires. Mesecons does not appear to allow
+for some sides to be on and some off on receptors (power sources). When
+any side is on the state of the digilines switch is on, but only rules for
+the powered sides are defined. This means if wires are placed while in
+this state only the sides that are powered will connect. When no side is
+powered the state of the digilines switch is off with rules defined for
+all potentially connected sides. In this state (as when first placed)
+mesecons wires will connect correctly.
