loading FORTH via HP-IL to 71B

[dmh]

Thanks but I have been wading through all the manuals and the dots haven’t connected for me yet :-)

I have a text file including my Forth code in a LIF attached as mass storage and can copy to the device but am still unclear as to whether it needs to be a Forth file type and how exactly to get it into Forth.

Thanks

pyILPER can be helpful for getting text files to a LIF disc image.
* Install lifutils
* Select a Drive tab
* Uncheck the Device enabled box

You can now use pyILPER as a frontend for lifutils. Right-click on a file to perform file functions like Purge or View. Click on Import to copy a text file w/ conversion to a LIF disc image.
