NewRPL - moving variables or programs from one directory to another - funRPN - 03-27-2024 09:09 PM
Hello there,
Is there a way to move variables or programs from one directory to another?
I have performed the "Put the item on the stack, change dir, type name, STO, back to previous dir, delete the original. Nevertheless this procedure looks to me a bit tedious and trivial.
I have been through the online wiki for newRPL but I didn't find my answer.
Any help?

I'm not aware of any. But you can of course write a program to do the tedious part easily enough.

I am quite new to programming and RPL/RPN although I have been studying some User RPL to get started on my "new.." HP49.
On the HP 49 I would have probably approached the selection of 'origin' and 'destination' by using commands like INPUT; INFORM; CHOOSE; TMENU (probably a combination of them).
On newRPL (HP40gs) I was not able to find similar commands (among the documented commands in the newRPL wiki) made exception for TMENU. Perhaps DOFORM could also do, but I haven't found any info on how to use this command.
So far, as a Newbie I see newRPL programming more like a numbers chopper but I am sure I am missing some pieces probably due to lack of documentation ^ understanding.
