48: Send string via serial as text file

[Dave Britten]

I've been logging some data on my 48GX, then later transferring it to my 200LX to analyze in 1-2-3. Right now I just build a string with CSV data in it on the 48, then send it in ASCII mode via Kermit. Works perfectly fine, but I have to open up Memo on the 200LX and strip out the standard HP headers and quote marks around the string before I can import the file into 1-2-3.

What settings/commands could I use to make the 48 send a string variable in much the same fashion as an MS-DOS system would transmit a text file? Note that I still want to use Kermit or XModem for error checking, so I can't just push it over with XMIT and capture the text on the 200LX side. Might drop a byte here or there without hardware flow control, especially if I'm using IR.

In other words, I'd like the content of the string to end up as an identical text file on the 200LX without needing to scrub it up in Memo first.
