error in heatbugs docs

Hi-
There's an error in the comments in the main.m file of heatbugs 961002.  It
says:
   // swarmGUIMode is set in initSwarm(). It's set to be 1 if you
   // typed heatbugs -batchmode. Otherwise, it's set to 0.

The 1 and 0 should be reversed here.  This is fairly minor on the one hand,
but since heatbugs is still the main way to learn Swarm (except for Glen's
Hello World), I imagine it could be really confusing for a newbie.  A diff
file is below.
