I am trying to run the snippet shown @ http://mbed.org/handbook/DigitalOut - The basic blue led flash works, but the snippet with the red, green, and blue leds does not work at all.

I'm guessing this particular board does not have RGB leds? Where do I find out which color leds the board has?

All the LEDs on the Mbed are blue. The demo shows hypothetical external LEDs connected to pins p5, 6 and 7. You can make them any colour you like :)

Oy - that makes a lot more sense, and the syntax is starting to make more sense as well!
