Rediscovering the HP50g after many years ...

I would suggest putting the program (in string form) on the stack, then deleting everything before the first \<<, and then using the resulting string as input to this program:

« 3 TRANSIO #2F34Dh SYSEVAL DROP OBJ→ »

This should convert the string into the original program object. Good luck!

Hi Joe,

Many thanks for the above solution to my problem. Your program above converted my program string which ran OK when I saved it to a variable.

I now have the HP48g-50g Connectivity Kit installed on the PC and able to transfer my program across onto the 50g. However, when I edit the program on the calc decimal points seem to have been added to the integers in the listing?? Strange ...
