You know, I tried that. It didn't work. But then I'm using my new editor
(that I'm working on) and had forgotten to set the brick type with EACH
command to NQC. I only had it set to compile/Download. So the scout wouldn't
be 'unlocked' until I had downloaded something. Thank goodness the commands
work!
I was about to go mad. (Visions of hacking a lego remote to auto send a
'ping' every 10 minutes.)
Would it be possible to add a command option to total the needed bytes for a
program and compare it against the target? Compile with this option and it
would tell you how much you had left or whatnot? It was quite the surprise to
see the mem full error after adding one command...
