Sounds like you have a pre-2004 Robot Controller.
Those were programmed in PBasic from Parallax not C and used an entirely different editor/compiler/downloader. It worked without the need for a "program" download button.

Let me find some references for you...

Most of what you need can be found here:
http://www.ifirobotics.com/first-legacy.shtml
under Documentation for 2001 - 2003

The default code with drive capability and the Editor that also downloads the code is available there, as well as documentation that describes what you need to know to get started.
Another useful site is:
http://www.parallax.com
In particular:
http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/...basic_stamp.asp
for the latest Editor
and
http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/...basic_stamp.asp
for in-depth PBasic user guides.
