[Lua] How turtles get items out of chests

What is the code for turtles to get items out of chests?

sleep(569850).

Turtles can't do this until ComputerCraft 1.4 is released.

only 1 week until 1.4? Oh boy.

Using tekkit, there has to be some way, right?

For now you can use Buildcraft or Redpower for the turtle to obtain items from a chest. Just have it in the code for the turtle to send the redstone signal to turn the device on and when full to turn it off. The pipes from both mods will connect and work with the current turtles.

Yep. They're hoping to have it released on or before August first, IIRC. At the time of posting, that was approximately the time until noon PST August first.
