Hi, I'm new to the comp.sys.handhelds newsgroup, and also a relatively new hp48sx owner. I don't have a way to download programs on the net to my hp using kermit. Is it possible to just type these programs in somehow? Thanks, -Ed.

Is it possible to just type these programs in somehow? I'm not sure why you are asking. I suppose there is something preventing you from going ahead and typing them in? Could you explain to us what it is? If it is the strange character sequences, like "\<<", then check page 626 of your owner's manual. You will find a table showing you what to type in for such sequences. If you see objects that need ASC-> to convert them, you'll need to get a copy of ASC->. Send me mail if you need a copy. Sometimes programs are posted uuencoded, although I haven't seen any recently. For those, you would need a uudecoder. However, they are likely to be binary, which means you will not be able to type them in. -- edp
