(...) Yep, you've got the parameters backwards. Try FFFF 0 timer_set. Also, I'm not sure about numbers above 0x8000... I'm working on a TclTk interface for uploading firmware images to the RCX and for pbFORTH scripts. I ALMOST have the comment (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
