1 A calculator should be a portable independent unit. All of the programmes I have written for 48G, 42S, 49G & 50g have been written on the calculator, occasionally in the middle of nowhere, ie no mains electricity. Having to download from an object the size of a lap-top or PC is simply not practicable.

I agree, and I can tell you that yesterday evening I’ve written these programs directly on my Prime. The only point is that with calculators as complex as the 48/50 or Prime you need some practice to be used to the keyboard and where to find the different functions. It can be easier to write programs on a computer when possible. Of course in case of the Prime the keyboard contrast makes it a bit more difficult for aging eyes … (and mine are also on the aging side now).

Well, I just copy/paste from the forum to the connectivity kit after creating a new program on the Prime from the connectivity kit (right click on “Programs” and select “New”) and it works fine. Anyway I’ve attached the .hpprgm file that you should be able to directly drag and drop in the connectivity kit, then you just need to open it on your Prime and Check it before using it.
