When you turn the calculator off, certain parts (the important data that are absolutely important to the user) are written into flash (e.g. programs, user variables, etc.).

You access the storage space by simply creating objects (e.g. programs and variables). Unlike other handheld devices, however, there is no storage like a USB drive. All file / data transfers are done through the connectivity kit, and the only things that you can transfer are valid objects (such as apps and programs).

Just to ask for a clarification...
When you say only valid objects and programs can be transferred...
Does that mean a program which didn't compile wouldn't transfer...or would it?

As for 256 MB being plenty, I used to find 20MB OK for a PC. Now, both of my phones have 4GB plus 32GB SD card, yet still complain that I cannot download any more apps - Luckily, one already has the latest HP Prime App.
