On a related note: it's really unfortunate that the MIT Logo stuff isn't
publicly available. It has the advantage being graphical and about as easy
to learn/use as RCX Code, plus it's a real full-featured programming
language.
----- End of forwarded message from Matthew Miller -----
That's not the Logo you want to use, MSW Logo is what you're looking for. In
general if you're going to use Logo then go with UCB Logo derivatives.
They're a hell of a lot more stable and you don't have to deal with the ego
of the chancellors (or whatever their office is called) at MIT.
Though, if one is using MSW Logo with it's current ser/par I/O capabilities
it makes the RCX a tad pointless. Instead of the RCX get a embedded ix86
system from EMJ Embedded Systems [1] or other PCMCIA PC vendors.
It's also free and the source is available.
