Hmm... Which OS are you using?
Configuring the terminal window is easy once you know
the magic incantation 2400 baud, no parity, 1 stop
bit, no handshaking. Ralph forgot to document that
so you have to learn it from this or several other
posts on this newsgroup. Note to Ralph. You should
probably add this to the online FAQ as soon as
convienient, i.e. don't wait for the release.
Downloading the firmware is the tricky part because
there is no downloader in the pbforth package. It's
not hard to do. You just have to get the downloader
somewhere else depending on which OS you run. The
pbforth FAQ suggests using the one in NQC. I believe
that you can trick Mindstorms software into downloading
the firmware for you. I personally use the downloader
that came with LegOS.
