You don't need to copy this back from the RCX !
In your vision command directory is the following file \script\myprog.txt.
This file is downloaded to slot 5 when you start the software in your VC
program.

There a are two ways to do this !
1.
Use another slot than slot 5 for your own program and switch to this slot
within 5 seconds. Here you have to know that the RCX sends an "alive-message"
every 5 seconds. When there is no "alive-message" (hold your hand between RCX
and your IR-Tower) the VC Software stops executing. So you have to send this
message with your own software.
2.
Edit the file above (\script\myprog.txt)
This must work, but i didn't try this till now.


Try it, and tell me
