I need to look at some items for Joerg, but I'll also look at a small supervisor that integrates the View,Run,Prgm,and On/Off buttons. This hsould be pretty easy and would be a good bit of example code. Cheers, Ralph (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

If you have an earlier version (1.2x) you have to use the words RCX_INIT and POWER_INIT to initialize the brick and the (...)

Furthermore, the "supervisor" you suggested could be the answer to one of my questions in (URL) concerning turning the RCX off and on without loosing pbForth: 2) According to Knudsen, i have to (...)
