Changes

I tested the program by lowering the target temperature for heating to 35 degrees C and running it, and it performed just as I expected. Jim had told me that we needed the program to heat the air to 160 or 165 degrees F, then turn off the heater immediately and let the air cool to room temperature. I made changes to the program to make it let the air cool instead of keeping it hot, but I also added radio buttons to give the user optional control over the hot plate before the temperature reached the target. After the temperature reached the target, however, the program would turn off the heater and the user could not turn it back on.
