I just assembled version 2.0.5 of the Pro kit.  It seems to work well and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Is there a way to save programs that I've entered using the front panel switches?  Can they be saved to the SD card or somewhere else?

Thanks!

Set all the address toggles off (down) and lower AUX1.  You'll see a list of options.  At the bottom of the list are these entries:

11xxxxxx: Save the 256-byte memory page currently selected on the SW15-8 switches to file #xxxxxx
10xxxxxx: Load the 256-byte memory page currently selected on the SW15-8 switches from file #xxxxxx

That means you can set toggles 6 & 7 up, then select a file number from toggles 0-5, press AUX1 down and your 256-byte program is saved as file #xxxxxx (whatever number you entered).

You can load them similarly, leaving SW6 down.

That works!  I was wondering what those two list entries meant.  Thanks much!
