Why not start with something very simple that should be easy to do: allow the emulator to load a specific .dat file other than wp34s.dat. We have been discussing this some time ago and it seems to be a good thing that adds a lot of usabilty. This way .dat files could be shared, and even loaded into the emulator by simple drag and drop. Once the program is in the emulator is can be easily transferred to "real hardware" using the SENDP command.

A corresponding "save as" command would allow saving different calculator state files. I have seen how immensly useful this is while working on the statistical distributions package for the HP35s emulator (which is a pain to use in other aspects, but that's a different story).

What do you think?
