As mentioned, this question arises time and time again.
While acknowledging that some just do not read the manuals thoroughly, if at all,
it would be good if a statement to the effect that it is NOT possible to upload a program from a PICAXE chip back to the Programming Editor/PC was put in Manual 1 in say the "Quick Start" Section. Interspersed in a few spots through the Manual 1 might be a good idea.
