Thanks to all for the Moon phase program (esp Craig?, the writer).
Unfortunatly, I'm having a bit of trouble transfering it, which has
raised a few other questions.
I first striped all the extra stuff from the file, so it starts with
%%HP..... and ends with END. Then when I tried to transfer it, I got
an Invalid Syntax error showing on the calculator's top line and
the begining of the first subroutine <<RCLF.... on the next line.
Unfortunatly, I can find no way to veiw the rest of this line to find
where the syntax error is.
I then did an ERRM which showed
1: "Invalid Syntax, DIR MPHAS..
and again no way to view the rest of the line. (no I can't get into the edit
mode, when I hit downarrow, I get a "can't edit null char" message.)
I'm sure the program is OK, as I received 4 identical copies from
different people. My questions are 1) is there a way to view the
rest of these strings to find where the supposed invalid syntax is,
and 2) why am I getting this error?
BTW, to make sure it wasn't my PC, I transfered one of the programs
HP supplied with the cable (from PC to HP) and one of my programs (from
HP to PC), and those transfers were OK.
If it helps, Kermit halts while transfering line 9. The log shows
Spack: ....MFRAC MPLOT MFINI 7#M#JFREEX^M
Rpack: ^A1#EInvalid Syntax'^M
but I'm not convinced that this is where the error is, as there
is probably some time delay between the send and the error.
Thanks in advance for any help.

More data (whcih makes me think the subject line is wrong):
I shipped the file to a friend using a Mac and an A ROM HP.
He loaded the program with no problem.
I tried another version of kermit on my PC (from procomm, I
was using the HP supplied 'raw' kermit before), and had the
same problem! I have a rev D ROM. Could this be the problem?
Anyone out there with a D machine that has loaded this?
Thanks again.

Note that the "#M#J" is the Kermit encoding for the CR/LF. The Kermits *may* be disagreeing about how control characters should be encoded. Note also that the tokens in the program after the CR/LF are "FREEZE STOF \>>..." The example shows "FREEX...". Craig A.

You can ignore the previous posts. The problem is somehow related to the protocall I used to download from host to PC. When I redid in kermit, its fine. (yterm ate the :'s)! Sorry to waste the bandwidth! eric
