How to make a turtle run a program over the Modem API in computercraft
I have an advanced computer with a wireless modem in my world as well as several Wireless turtles. Now I want to sent a program from that computer to the turtle and run it.
I looked up the modem API on the ComputerCraft website but I could not find a way to do it.
Do I need advanced turtles? Are there advanced turtles in FTB Mindcrack 1.4.7 (I don't know the version of ComputerCraft in the Mindcrack version of FTB)
How can I send programs to the turtles and run them from my advanced computer?

I made a nice script using some of the logic from UnionHawk's post for the latest ComputerCraft version, CC: Restitched v1.100.2

Just run 'update --server' on a computer connected to a floppydrive and 'update' on any turtle/computer you want to sync the scripts to
