From what I understood (I might be wrong) while the pbforth kernel is
running the buttons have no predefined action, so there's no way to make the
RCX sleep without using the terminal console. Of course you can do that in
your own program. If you need to stop & run your RCX without the console,
you must properly manage the buttons in your code, using a sort of
"supervisor". An example:
- Red button pressed: you put the RCX in sleep mode (OFF). When the red
button is pressed again, the code execution resumes from the next instrucion
and you're back. DO NOT exit back to the kernel otherwise you need the
terminal to restart your program.
- Green button: start/stop doing what your program is designed for.
- Gray or black button: stop the program and go back to kernel. From this
moment on you'll need the terminal to restart your program.
