The Link Next field can point to any step (from 0 to 255). When a chain of steps is
finished the last step should have a Link Next of 0 to indicate so. If a never-ending loop
is required, the last step will have a Link Next value of a step earlier in the chain.
Tip: When editing the steps, you can press CTRL+G to cause the cursor to jump to
the step indicated by the Link Next field. This allows the user to view the steps in a
step sequence.
