I really don't know, John. I'll have to experiment a bit too :-) I've
gotten really bogged down with work and can't spend much time on
pbFORTH until next weekend. It would be great if you could compile
a list of things you would like checked or better documentation
for. I was thinking of writing a simple tutorial for FORTH that was also
RCX specific.
Have you been following the replacement firmware thread too? It's
interesting how they want to strip Java down or make a better bytecode
interpreter. I still think that once pbFORTH gets the momentum, and
a better environment (Tcl based so it runs anywhere) it will
be a really neat bit of work, and usefl in educational courses.
I find kids pick up basic FORTH concepts faster than adults...
