Ooops,

Figured it out.  When you set the RCXTTY variable, leave out the spaces.
ie:  set RCXTTY=com4
NOT: set RCXTTY = com4

The whitespace is not parsed out by the MS-DOS command line.

Now that I have the frmdl3.exe and dll.exe recognizing com4, I'm having
a different problem...

I try to load helloworld.lx with:  dll helloworld.lx
I get the following messages:   sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
sending keepalive...
error deleting program

I get this even if I specify a program slot with the -p parameter.

Ideas?

Thanks again,
Dave

It appears that you can specify a com port other than the default COM1
for the firmdl3.exe and dll.exe programs for the Windows LegOS
distribution
package.

Does anyone know what the syntax might be?  I use COM4 for my IR Tower.

Thanks,

Dave
