  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.

Well, when there's nothing to actually RUN under WIN9x or Linux or MacOS
then it's hard to get the installation wrong :-)

  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?

Yup, it's the tower.

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

Let me know what works. I suggest a simple terminal program that allows XMODEM
transfers as well as paced ASCII. You need to be able to give the RCX time between
lines to compile the line...

Cheers,
