Although I just think that there is something that I am overlooking. I have tried to download several machine code objects into my 48. including HP's stpwatch.lib, usag, and some others. What I get in the resulting variable is a string: "HPHP48-A[binary data. . .]" What does this mean? Does it have anything to do with the translation code (SETUP), though I thought that that was just for ASCII up/downloads to take care of all the special characters. Or, is there another program floating around out there that I need to convert this thing into a system object? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | _ , __ _ _ | "It's green . . ." | | ' ) / / ) // // | Mr. Scott | | /-< _ ____ /--< __ . . ____ _ // // | | | / ) | | ===============================================================================
