Thank you, David. Your gode is great! I learned a lot from your quick example,
though I prefer Java more. I will encapsulate RCX commands in some utility
objects and use them in more higher level objects.
What I focus now is make a RF/IR adapter to eliminate the direction limitation
of IR. If I make it, I can build my whole OO environment on my desttop and
directly command the RCX. It's interesting!
