Yes. The IR just becomes a dumb serial port whith an annoying builtin
echo, almost like you had a serial port cable attached to the RCX.
Open the port on the host system using whatever language you want
and proceed to send commands to it. Of course the commands will be
eithor Forth words or bytes sent to Forth words that you create that
read them from the RCX serial port.

RCX.pm supports the special RCX protocol. That protocol is gone when
Forth is installed. You can probably steal the lowest level code that
sets up the serial port parameters but the rest won't be of much value.
