5. You get five slots.

Yes, with Version 2 of the firmware.

From what I understand you get 6k of program space, you can use it all in a
program or spread it around 2 to 5. Your choice.

Sort of. Computer to RCX control is quite fast for direct control. RCX to RCX
is a little more complicated. Codes (1 to 255) are easy but more then that is
harder.

| Okay, cool, so I get 5 slots (my bad...I knew that too...I don't know *why* I kept saying 3) and the TOTAL space I can use is 6k? Does that include the datalog feature? Can you pass variables into other programs? How do you use these 'Codes (...) (26 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
