Just to make sure, let's take an example.

Let's say that I have two RCX, named A and B. What if the program in RCX B
is waiting for a character on the instruction KEY and RCX A sends a
character, let's say '5' (ASCII 52) with   52 EMIT  ? That would not work?
When I use a terminal emulator, it seems to me that I send characters one at
a time to the RCX and when the RCX echoes, it sends it back? It would be
different between two RCXs?

What you describe would work exactly. Normally, the "outer interpreter"
of pbForth waits for input using "KEY" - which of course is just a char
from the IR. You can make a special word that waits for anything you
like...

Cheers, Ralph
