HP49G+, How to write USER RPL on a PC
Peter Nicoll
This might seem a bit daft, but I would be pleased if someone could explain
how I can write USER RPL on a PC and then transfer to the HP49G+ calculator.
I can get variables uploaded and downloaded using the connectivity software.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean a regular user program then the following might help:
Be sure the first line of the source code on the computer is:
%%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.);
Then comes the program beginning with \<< and ending with \>>
If you want to send more than one program at a time, i.e. a directory,
then the second line of the source code must be DIR and the last line
of the source code must be END with each program separated by a name
and starting and ending with program delimiters, i.e. \<< and \>>
Be sure to use a pure ASCII text editing program, not something that
adds formatting, such as Word. One choice to use is notepad.
Personally I use a very old program called bse.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

p.s. The three items in parenthesis above, T(3)A(D)F(.) control
formatting on the HP-48GX. The settings as given will work in most
instances.

Hi Peter,
I prefer to use emu48 or debug4 on the PC, because I can enjoy
using 10-fingers. For USER RPL you can use HP49G-rom.
I think, with debug4 you get an ASCII-converter, which enables you
to store/view files in *.txt-files. (Transfer with XLAT ->255,
requires a little habituation :-). The ASCII-converter is also seperatly
available on www.hpcalc.org

I found it very useful.

So you mean an ASCII transfer won't work in your case?
I don't own an HP49G+, but I think the ASCII transfer is ok also using a
terminal emulator software. Of course, the beginning of your text file
should be, as pointed by rdb:
%%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.);

When a file is received by the calculator it's type is a string and not a
program. I can not see how to change the file type.
I am using the latest connectivity pack.
Any help much appreciated.

Just use th OBJ-> command!!!
May I suggest also you to read some of the documentations of your calc? Read
the user guide and also the advanced user guide of the 49 if you like.

Peter,
it is not that easy to write programms in ASCII.
You would get some experience, in case you would go the other way,
means writing files on the HP49G+, transfer them to the PC
and analyse (with notepad, for example).
For that, you need some knwoladge about the file-transfer-
protocoll (I/O, see my post in from the morning).
I thing it is much easier to use debug4 or emu48 (is much smaller)
from www.hpcalc.org
with the "ascii-converter" (see my post).
The ascii-table, you would need, might not be documented in
the HP49G+-docu (assumption) but you can find it in the
manual of the HP48-series.
I have seen some progams (shareware) which does the job, too.
But I have no experience with them.
