Hello, using brickOS v0.2.6.10... When I declare an object of type Motor and assign it a port outside of main() the RCX does not run the program at all, I have to remove batteries and reload firmware to get it back to normal.

Ok, I'll take a shot at it: 1) Make a new directory in the root BrickOS directory called pgm. 2) Copy the files config.h and Makefile from the boot directory to the pgm directory. 3) Copy your C files to the pgm directory. 4) Edit config.h (in (...)
