The question of transfer from other HP calculators to the HP 48SX via
Infra-Red has not yet been done to death as the questioner asks, but
it has already been mentioned that the software with the I/O kit
(available any day now, so they say) includes a program INPRT to do
this job. Documentation is included too, so I'll not repeat it here.
At present this program is most useful for copying HP-28 programs to
the HP 48SX, but other uses will develop, especially for HP-41 owners.
What is still missing is a comprehensive list of HP-28 commands and
features that have changed from the HP-28 to the 48. A few have been
mentioned. How about the fact that RND now uses TWO arguments, the
object to round in level 2, and the number of digits in level 1. This
REALLY confused some of our members at the club meeting here when the 48
was introduced.
