i havent configured the lego software, i dont think,. is there a way to?
The small program thing actually makes sense though. The COM tower will just shutdown if it isn't kept alive (I thought that the mere act of sending data to it would do that, but maybe not.), so after the first 5 seconds of transfer, it gets turned off. If it's a small program, it gets sent in that time. Otherwise, it gets interrupted and the RCX erases what it did have, because there's no point in keeping the incomplete program.
