Oops.. absolutely correct - do I feel like an idiot? :)
As Doug says, the brick can only be programmed in a limited sense
using VLL. The way we do it is via a Spybotics robot, programmed
using NQC and connected to the Microscout via a light-tube.
Not really the answer (unless you have a Spybotics) - sincere
apologies for leading you up the garden path. And thanks to Doug for
correcting me.
Cheers
Tom
