  thank you both, I got it working now (I had the 1.0.7, so I downloaded
the latest one, if only every installation was that simple:-) and I
subscribed to the announce list.

  however, I was wondering, if the pbFORTH does not echo the keystrokes
and the terminal program (minicom) does not echo them either then where
are the characters I see on the screen coming from??? I mean when I
connect to anything else that does not echo (and I turn off local echo)
I see nothing on the screen... is it the tower?

  on similar note: what comm program are others using (under linux) to
communicate with pbFORTH in LEGO brick?

  thanks a lot.

Hi Erik,

Starting after the 1.0.7 version, echo from RCX was disabled (controlled by
RCX_ECHO variable, off by default).
Current version (1.1.0 as I remember) shouldn't show any echo. At least with
"standard" terminals.

I've tried Hyperterminal, Telix and my own pbForth terminal.
