Color code (nuts trimmed Dan's recommendation of 330 ohm):

330 = Orange Orange Brown Gold

1K  = Brown Black Red Gold

If you should find a 1K resistor that's plenty good with most RED LEDs.

Second less-serious question: I can type in the few lines from the projectpage, but I do not have the time/interest to learn Python. How can I
interface the Pi to my Apple II :) and do things in BASIC?

DON'T DO IT IN BASIC
unless you like to suffer the wrath of your cohorts here
use your google foo to look python tutorial

Please tell me you didn't buy into the myth that the only language that you can a RPi is Python! Sorry that drives me nuts.

Other than that Python is a good language (other than the indenting, I'll get over it). It doesn't have nasty syntax and you don't need to understand OOP to get started with it. When you want to handle strings, it has regex and it has a ton of libraries.
