Hi Don Ed Von Essen here again.
To answer your question, no, ->TAG should work the same on both. And it is described on page 21-33 of the 50G User Guide.
Now to eat a little crow. In the past, I had tried using :3: and when entered, this produces an INVALID SYNTAX error. However, one can type in :3:"FILENAME" and press enter. This results in 3: "FILENAME" on the command line and providing that there is an object on line 2 of the stack, that object can be STOred on the SD Card.
As an aside, I have been using my 50G for this because when I try to store anything out on the SD card in the 49G+, I am getting a DISK FULL error. Evidently too much stock data on it.
What I said about having to purge a file on the SD card before using that file name again still holds true. Just tried writing an object to the same file I used a little while ago and this resulted in a STO Error: Object In Use .
By the way, I just bought 48 AAA batteries at Costco for about 12.50 plus tax today. They are Costco's own brand, Kirkland, which have worked OK in other applications in the past.
HP should furnish a Pocket Guide with the 50G. The one that came with the 49G is very helpful.
And I haven't had to use the ->TAG function on any of this, this afternoon. Although I haven't tried any of this in a program, only from the command line.
There's too much to learn and not enough
time or head memory to do it.
Regards Ed

Are you saying the 50g's ->TAG changes the
"RESEARCH/xxx. TXT" to 'RESEARCH/xxx. TXT' whereas the
49g's ->TAG function does not? Because if it doesn't,
STO will return an error if you feed it 3:
"RESEARCH/xxx. TXT".
