I tried to ascii upload the following. (Which was downloaded from
HP, then edited). My wirering is ok. Upload goes well but at the
end i get a message: 'Invalid syntax:    >>*' where * stands for
a blue square (char 158 in HP48). Cannot figure out what's wrong 
with my program end!

Program follows:
@ CONV
@ Converts a string to object(s). Requires ASC-> and KCRC and STRINV
@ Example:
@
@ 1: "12345"
@ CONV
@ 1: External

%%HP: T(3)A(D)F(.);
\<< DUP KCRC \->STR DUP         @ 1: "12345"  2: "# 1426h"
SIZE 1 - 3 SWAP SUB             @ 1: "12345"  2: "1426"
STRINV                          @ 1: "12345"  2: "6241"
 
  WHILE DUP SIZE 4 <            @ While checksum has less than 4 digits
  REPEAT "0" +                  @ Add a '0' to the end of checksum string
  END                           @ 1: "12345"  2: "6241"
  +                             @ 1: "123456241"
  ASC\->
\>>
-------- end -------- end --------

My setting should by ok. As to the details the are:
In HP48:
	wire, ASCII, 9600, parity none, translate code 3
In kermit:
	9600, parity none

I'm transferring file from pc. There is no invisible letters at the
end of my program. (hex dump 5C 3E 3E 0D 0A 0A)
5C = \   3E = >

I'm amazed by the fact that the same end sequence *is* accepted by
HP48 in some cases!
