Thank you Bernardo. As I explained during the discussion with Martin, I decided to use rather arrays of functions. So now I've got my own functions like void Lcd4BotL(){ dlcd_show(LCD_4_BOTL); } and the use of the array with an index is now fully (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

If you downloaded leJOS 1.0.2.RC6 you should download and install 1.0.2.RC8 instead as there is a bug in RC6 that causes the RCX to ignore sensors and buttons for several minutes. Apologies for the inconvenience - Paul Andrews. (23 years ago, 2-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
