Vector Jump
This control allows the user to specify the Vector Jump flag. This flag indicates
whether the vector jump mode is enabled (true) or disabled (false).
If the vector jump mode is enabled, then the sequence step number to jump to is
specified in the vector jump table which is addressed by the Vector Bits which
form the Vector Bit Index. If the vector jump mode is disabled, then the
sequence step number to jump to is specified by the
Jump Step
control.
This control is only visible if the jump type is set to Normal or Gosub.
