50g

with some other help, what I discovered is that the DIR object created on port 2 of the emulator CAN be used with RESTORE if you do one of the following....

1... if you transfer the dir object to the 50G on an SD card, all you need to do is use the FILER to copy or move the DIR object from the SD card to Port2. Now restore from port...:2:'filename.hp' ENTER RESTORE

2. if you use conn4x to transfer the dir object to the HOME directory, use the filer to either copy or move the object to port 2 and again restore from the port....:2:'filename' ENTER RESTORE
