I am trying to make an exact copy of 2 directories on the calculator to the SD card. Each directory contains 2 programs. These would function as a backup on the SD card.
What confuses me is what the other user "Han" said about the files on the sd card being only compatible with a pc and not the hp. I used the same syntax that the User manual used to save a Dir/file to the card but when I view the directory from the file manager it won't show the program in the directory Ex. :3:"BASE/D-H" (enter on stack level 1) then STO.

Any time you STO something on the SD card, it exists there as a single file -- regardless of what that file actually contains. It can be a number, a string, a list, an array, a program, a 50g directory, or even a backup of the 50g's main memory. All of those objects are still seen as a single entity when stored on the SD card.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're wanting to replicate a group of items that are organized as a 50g directory into a similar hierarchy on the SD card. That simply can't be done in a single step. You would have to STO them on the SD card one at a time. That's the only way you'd see the individual items on the SD card.
