Thanks Ralph. I'll try this. I might have followed the wrong track but I got to
this 'test program' trying to solve the problem I have in my 'real' program: I'm
writing a PbForth version of the Trailerbot (Luis Villa, Extreme Mindstorms).
The main loop has mainly two purposes: 1.- Do Trailerbot stuff then 2.- Check
the remote for 'instructions' like Start, Stop, etc. The problem I have is that
once I pushed a button on the remote, the program seems to freeze on the Check
remote part until I hit another button and so on. I'll work on it keeping in
mind your comments.
Thanks
Mario
