You use the L/R arrow buttons to scroll an icon list along the bottom of the
display, and when the proper menu icon is in the center, you hit the centeral
orange button to select it, and drill down a menu. The smaller rectangular grey
cancel button backs you out a menu. Given a four-button interface, it's not a
bad system, although it does seem to result in a lot button pushing. The
complete menu system is a challenge to describe - it takes up a full two-page
spread in the NXT documentation if memory serves.

There's a memory limit... and that's pretty much it. The NXT has a file
system, so there are data files, image files, program files, special files,
etc., all sharing. The number of user program files that sit on it depends on
how much of the other stuff you've cleared out (a lot of the LEGO stock stuff
can be dumped or trimmed, like Steve did with the startup sound), and the size
of your programs (10 kb being a "normal" size according to the literature...
YMMV).

From the NXT frontpanel? Deleting programs, sending programs or other files
to other NXTs in the area via BT, & running them. But that's just for programs.
There's a lot in the menu system.

How about that the screen drawing and the NXT buttons are under program
command? User programs, that is.
