I'm having a hard time parsing your english.  I know that's not your fault, but
it is making it harder to help you.

The simplest way you can send a message to the RCX and have a program running on
the RCX respond to that message is to use the PBMessage mechanism.  But that
limits your message to a single integer value between 0 and 255.  If you need to
send a single message constructed from 3 numbers then you may find the PBMessage
mechanism to be too limiting.  If that is the case then your will have a much
harder time trying to do what you want.

I wrote that e-mail.  I was wrong about the DDE support in BricxCC.  It does not
currently handle any DDE messages.

If you have installed BricxCC 3.3.7.7 then you have a copy of this utility (it
is called RCXTool.exe).  You can use either NQC or RCXTool to send PBMessages to
the RCX.

In a previous post I showed how to use NQC to send a PBMessage.

nqc -TRCX2 -Susb -msg #

(where # == 1-255)

You could have your program launch NQC using the above command line to send your
messages.
