Sylvain's method is faster and better of course, but the old adage about teaching a man to fish is still true.

1. Use alifhdr.exe to prepend a lif header on your source file (copied from his post, saved to a text file):
> alifhdr SOURCE.TXT SOURCE.lif /T

2. On IL-Per, point the DOSLINK IN box to the new SOURCE.lif

3. Copy the file via PIL-Box/IL-Per
COPY :DOSLINK to FILENAME:MAIN

4. TRANSFORM FILENAME TO BASIC

Rob,

Thank you.

Two questions
1. Why use DOSLINK rather than the 9114B or HDRIVE. I guess I don't understand the difference between DOSLINK and 9114B.

2. Is TRANSFORM FILENAME TO BASIC an HP-71 command?

Thank you all for your patience with me,

Mike
