I'm the moderator of the Psion mailing list, would you like to subscribe?

If you have the Psion Comms Link, you should be able to do ASCII
transfers between the two machines.  Unfortunatly, I don't know of an
xmodem for the HP-48sx, or a kermit for the Psion, so transfering
binary files will be pretty messy.  There is an snap on IR unit
available for Psion Organisers from Extech, it might be compatible with
what the HP has.  Psion sells a Maths Pak and a Formulator Pak, I don't
really know what these do however.  The free software that I know in
the areas you're interested in includes some astronmy specific
applications, more trig functions, and metric conversion.

Why exactly do you have both machines?  They seem to overlap a lot.
