I have a MindStorms project idea that requires the robot to "display"
something, rather than run a motor.
An alphanumeric displaying words would be awesome, but a two digit number
would work.

pbForth lets you display arbitrary numbers. legOS lets you do rudimentary
chars on the 7 seg display. pbForth displays a sign-on string.

To display numbers, use the LCD_NUMBER routine and remember to call
LCD_REFRESH to update the display. See some of the samples in pbtest.txt
in the scripts section

Cheers,
