All you have to do to write code for the 48 on your PC is to literally write it on the PC. Use the "translate code 3" symbols for special char- acters (like \<< for open french quotes, for example) as specified in the manual. Don't worry how long your lines are. Just make sure the file you create has no special editor/word processor control characters in it. Then download the file in ASCII mode to the HP48 and it should run fine. (Famous last words??) In addition, HP has just announced the Program Development Link, a package for the PC that is a text-windowing environment for editing, maintaining, uploading/downloading and testing HP48 *user* code. It provides "HP48 Immediate Mode", allowing the user to run HP48 code on the calculator from the PC (while the calc is connected via serial cable) without having to type the Kermit "REMOTE HOST" command on every line. There is also context- sensitive help on line, so you can mouse-click on any HP48 command and get reference-manual type of information. I'm sure more will be mentioned on this product in the near future. Jake Schwartz

In response to Charles' query about HP Internals documents: Dennis
Nickel has been nice enough to post a very nice document, including
memory addresses in user.programs on the HP board. It is # 184. In
addition, there is a posting at #94, Response/attachment #16 of 16, which
is the "compleete" compiliation of all the machine language comments on
c.s.h. So, try those out and have fun with it.
