Sets Amt of Digitalis at coordinates. An Amt of 1 means full health Digitalis, and 0 means no Digitalis.

This is based on experiment and observation, not source knowledge.

Using this command to set the Digitalis level to zero results in never-regrowing Digitalis, even if there is Digitalis “growth” (pathway) present. Setting to -1 causes (seemingly) normal behaviour. Pressing “Delete Digitalis” in the editor returns cells to normal.

  Note: blasters will not injure digitalis that is uphill ever.

• Lay down Digitalis on 3×3 grid under a unit
  
  The reason for the 2 is that the limit is one more than the loop iterates through. So, “3 0 do loop” goes through the values 0,1,2… but not three. Using these limits will make your walker lay down a 3×3 grid of Digitalis.
