I wanted to follow-up on my first message with more information in the hopes someone can help. I have been having problems with downloading to my RCX. I started trying NQC on a mac and this did not work. I then ported NQC to Solaris and had some (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

If you're using Windows, you can watch your programs variables with Rcx Command center. It wouldn't be hard to write a variable watcher for other platforms either.
