50G Solver - Use softkeys?

I would very happily re-type them, they're short, into a text editor to save them on an SD card to import into the 50G, but I'm seeing that it's not that straightforward. I wouldn't mind just being able to send text straight into the calculator. But then a command like OBJ->, I assume, would translate directly.

You can use Conn4X (aka Connectivity Kit) for this. If the text file is the correct format for the HP 50, you can drop it onto the Conn4X screen and it will transfer directly to the calculator.
Example file:

Code:


%%HP: T(3)A(R)F(.);
\<< \-> n
  \<< 1 DUP DUP2 2. \->LIST 3 SWAP 3 n
    FOR k k EUTR1 NIP 1 2 k LMSEQ OVER * \GSLIST SWAP
    NEXT DROP n 1 + \->LIST
  \>>
\>>

If you are able to connect your 48 to a PC, you can save the programs as text files by choosing the "edit as text" option from the menus. Then you just have to change the header to be HP 50 compatible.

Note also that integers in HP-48 programs will be interpreted as exact integers by the HP 50. If you normally work in approximate mode, just edit the program and press ENTER, and the integers will become approximate numbers.
