Where I work we have several hp48's, hp49's, hp50's, and some older
models that haven't broken yet. For the most part, with what I've
experienced, there is usually little code that needs to be changed
from a hp48 to a hp49 or hp50. That's just assuming it's in user rpl.
We basicly connected the hp48 and hp50 to the same computer with two
hp connectivity programs running. We've found using ASCI transfer is
best.

1. Make, in the new calc, the reals that have the same name as the
program files you are transfer. (makes pasting easier)

ex: 10 'myprogram' sto

2. Copy the program as text.

3. Open the text file and copy it's contents

4. Open the real object.

ex: 'myprogram' 10

and then paste the program over the 10 or what ever number you
chose to use.

It does take time but it seems to work, and a little better than
keying in everything again.


Have fun,
