Try Hp-Edit v0.8.7 , is called Hp48-49 User RPL Editor, so I
think it could be usefull
As always in http://www.hpcalc.org
Or http://www.eis.uva.es/~hp48
Or even better:

I use the ASCII notation where the program delimiters are for example
\<< and \>>.
An empty program looks like this:
%%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.);
\<<
\>>
The expression SIN(alpha) looks like that:
%%HP: T(3)A(R)F(.);
'SIN(\Ga)'
Note that here the Radiant mode instead of the Degree mode like above
was used!
You can find the explanations of the translation code T(3) and the
other options in the manual. Normally such a file would be transfered
with Kermit (for example with HPComm).
Using the method described above I can use any ASCII editor (my
personal favorites are the tiny notepad replacement metapad
(http://welcome.to/metapad/) and the extremly versatile programmer's
editor Vim (www.vim.org) where you can make shortcuts for the standard
HP48 characters like \GS and so on and much more) for
I use John H. Meyers Emu48asc (look for that zip file at hpcalc.org)
on my real HP48 to translate the x-modem file to the ASCII-form and
vice versa. It's a real time (and battery :-) saver, because you can
use the faster X-Terminal instead of Kermit then :-)
Another choice would be to use the specific ASCII-number in the
editor. For example you could type (on a win-PC):
ALT (holding down) + the ASCII number on the numeric keypad (for
example ALT + 0171 for the « character or ALT + 0133 for the big greek
Sigma character and so on.
To make it easier for you, you can use a program which allows you to
click those special chars together. There are some at hpcalc. HPEdit
is one of them. The new spanish one didn't install on my PC, so I
couldn't try that one...
I personally find the method of using the translation code 3 the most
versatile.
Good luck!
