It is amazing this was mentioned just now.  I just started reading chapter
6:pbForth of Knudsen's book with the hopes of learning to use my Palm to
interact with the RCX.

I don't know Forth at all.  Is this a good place to start?  What should I use as
my terminal program on the Palm?  What advice can you give?

Right now I feel like I'm walking into a room with the lights off.  Hopefully
this message thread is the light switch I've been searching for.

To echo something mentioned on the first message of this thread, I just stumbled
on a Forth implementation for the Palm OS:   http://www.quartus.net/products/forth/
I guess it really does run anywhere.

This is by Neal Bridges, another backwards Canadian!!!!

I use Quartus on my Palm, and it's really cool. The original goal
of pbForth was to be able to edit source on the Palm and blast
it up to the RCX....
