Yama and Walter,
Thanks.
I was not as clear as I wanted to be. Arduino (or Energia, an
alternative) would be fine. I was speaking about using mspdebug, which
is purely command line based.

Walter,
I will play and then let you know about possible plug-ins. Turtle Art
would be a much better solution for the kids.

Thanks.
Gerald
