I love using Debug4x from http://www.debug4x.com. It's a free IDE
that comes with an emulator (also available separately from
http://www.hpcalc.org) that you can test your programs on before
transferring to your physical device. Debug4x now includes User RPL
programming (was mainly used to create SysRPL libraries and assembler
code before the inclusion of User RPL--the "native" HP programming
structure).

Manjo (the author of the grayscale program OpenFire) has also created
a programming environment that's available here:
http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~manjo/openfire/

For detailed programming references, check out the HP49G+ Adanved
User's Guide, available at:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00554621/c005

Also, the SysRPL programming guide is here:
