RPL programs (UserRPL and SysRPL) aren't actually stored internally as text (strings) they are converted to binary format during download from Conn4x. Alternately, you can create UserRPL source in SysRPL and save them to the card as strings (text files) and then on the 50g compile them using the built-in MASD compiler (ASM) in the tools menu.

To do this, you will have to learn how UserRPL is represented in SysRPL (typically, the statement FOO would appear as "xFOO"); a simple way to start exploring this is to make simple UserRPL programs, recall them to the stack and use (->S2) to convert it to a string (decompile).
