OK, here's the situation.  I have a standard HP48SX, with no expansion RAM 
(i.e. I only have 32K).  It contains many files, some big some small, and I
have about 5K remaining unused.  Let's say there's a program that I want to
download from my computer that is 9K in size.  Well, there's not enough 
memory, so I go looking for something that I haven't used for awhile to get
rid of.  When I find it I realize that I have made some changes to it so I
better back it up first.  Let's say it is 8K in size.  If I get rid of 8K,
I will then have a total of 13K available for the 9K program I want to 
download.  But, when I go to upload the 8K directory I don't want, I get
an "insufficient memory" error!  WHAT?  Does this mean that the 48SX needs
at least as much RAM available as the size of the object being uploaded?
What if I only had three 9K objects, nothing could be uploaded individually.
Something must be wrong here, could someone please help me out?  I know there
are workarounds, i.e. upload individual files in the directory instead of the
whole thing, but that's not what I want to do!  HELP!
