Title: Wireless Turtle, starting problems

If I place a wireless turtle, no programs start. (always called "startup")
If I try the same program on a non-wireless turtle everything works fine. I tested on purpose with programs, which didn't require the modem.
If I place the wireless turtle and right-click it then, then everything works fine again. (and the modem turns on/red). I thought maybe I've to "open" the modem first even if this wouldn't make any sense.. edited the program..didn't work ether.
So it seems to need an update, caused by the richt-click, before executing the program, as soon as it is a wireless-turtle.
Is this really the case or is it somehow buggy? Or am I the problem ?^^

Split into new topic.

Please post the code you're using.

You might have named it "Startup" instead of "startup"

I have been playing around with the same ideas. Wireless turtle program. etc… I found my server requires me to drop fuel into the turtle also to make it work. (my single player is setup to not require fuel).

I have been making a couple of programs to make the turtle react to the arrow keys and CTRL , SHIFT and ENTER for down, up, dig.

here is a pastebin link to my programs so far.

Well, it didn't matter what code I used. Not even a "program" like:

turtle.forward()
worked for me (fueled turtle). But a question in general:
Do I have to right-click a turtle after I placed it to run the startup? I mostly used computers so far, that's why I don't know. But I couldn't remember that this was necessary.
Also the point, that only turtles with wireless-modems needed the right-click, is weird..

Every computer has to be right-clicked to start up. No exception.

Yeah, I'm embarrassed, realized that a second ago :wacko:/> . But nevertheless, thank you, :)/>
Well turned out, I never dealed with the basics of the basics. I clicked on every the computer anyway.
I think my problem is solved.
