I ended up resetting the calculator with the button on the back, and went back into newRPL via the On+Symb then Esc commands. I plugged into the PC again, and it was recognized.

However, I have of course lost all my variables/memory (I had been using the Prime firmware for quite a while until just now...

I was checking to see if I did a USB archive backup to the PC, but apparently I didn't. I am pretty sure that I did one on the calc with the SDARCHIVE command, but I don't recall the syntax (or the filename, if there was one) to do the restore. Is there a way to see what I have saved as archive files?

If you can't remember the file name you can do this:

Code:


"/" SDOPENDIR
'HANDLE' STO

This will leave a file handle on the stack (a hex number, will be #3h if you didn't open any other files before) which we are storing into a variable for later use. You'll also see the letters HC show up in the status area, indicating the file system was mounted.
Now you can use that handle to see what files are in the directory:

Code:


HANDLE SDNEXTFILE

You can repeat this until you see the name you are looking for, or get the "END OF FILE" error, indicating you reached the end of the directory, so no more files in there.
Now you close the directory with:

Code:


HANDLE SDCLOSE

OK - trying to follow the instructions, but I hit a snag on the second character. How do you enter the slash character ( / )?

EDIT: Found it - right-shift and the divide key.

Cycling through now. Is there a way to repeat the:
HANDLE SDNEXTFILE
command other than typing it in over and over?
