Hello, first of all, i'll have to say, that i'm very glad to have a FORTH on the RCX but, and the but is a big one, there are some problems if you want to develop some even small pieces of code.

Vlad, why don't you write a graphical FSM generator? Textbook FSMs are quite powerful, but in practice, states and transitions are usually augmented with enter/hold/leave actions. This provides plenty of configuration potential. Also, there's a (...) (25 years ago, 14-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
