A few considerations:
- If you ever plan to do any editing of the programs on a PC, then ASCIIBIN (or something like it) can convert the special RPL tokens (« » → ← Σ √ ...) to trigraphs that would facilitate easier editing.
- One possible issue when converting UserRPL from the 48sx to 48GX (or 49/50) is that the newer platforms may have new commands that use the same names as global or local variables you created for the 48sx. These issues can be tricky to spot sometimes because the code can look identical, even when it really isn't. The error messages that result from this type of issue are sometimes useful, sometimes misleading.
- Be on the lookout for unnamed PTR calls in the SysRPL code, because those aren't likely to be the same when moving to the newer platforms. It appears that there may be a few of those.

The UTIL directory should probably be replaced in its entirety. I believe there may be a newer version of USAG that would work on the newer platforms. Don't know about INPRT.

These are just the first thoughts that come to mind for me. Let us know if you run into problems with a specific program, we may be able to help if you can provide some details.

Let us know how it goes!
