Private Sub DownPrgm_Click()

PBrickCtrl.BeginOfTask 1

[snip rest of program]

That is an excellent example to demonstrate the use of VB to load a
program; once you have got that working the next thing you might find
difficult will be either:

1. Doing cleverer things with the VB side, or
2. Doing clever things with the RCX code.

I'll leave others to give you further examples of #1, but there are lots
of examples of #2 on the mindstorms CD.  Check out any file of the .scr
type on the CD.

I am struggling with learning to program the RCX  with Visual Basic. I want
to have motor "B" run untill my light sensor "2" sees a level of 50. I am at
a total loss on how to write this. Is there a site where I can down load
some typical programs that I  might gleen some better perspective of the
programng format? The "getstarted" program on MindStorms just is not enough
for me. Any help is appreciated.
