I was just wondering, can the Run button on the RCX be reprogrammed? I was thinking of a theoretical, fail-safe system, where it would be nice to run a clean-up routine after the run button had been pressed to stop the program. I reckon you'd have (...)

Hi Everybody, I have used SendSpybotMsg and SendSpybotCtrlMessage (of course in connection with resopective set messages) without any problems using BCC 3.3.7.5 and 3.3.7.9. These two commands gives RCX a nice control over spybot. Specially (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Okay, okay, bad form responding to my own post. I got the new firmware on my RCX, downloaded the latest version of BricxCC, and NQC. But I can't figure out how to use this SetUserDisplay command?
