The HP 95LX runs standard MS-DOS programs, so write in whatever language
you wish, as long as it generates a .EXE or .COM program.  There are not
any languages currently available that run ON the HP 95LX, although I've
successfully run MASM, LINK, and EXE2BIN.  I'd recommend using a PC with
MASM or C, then hose the program across using a serial cable and either
the filer/connectivity_pack or the COMM application.  You could also get
a ThinCard drive for your PC that will take the memory cards, and that
makes it real easy to move files back and forth, but the drives are not
cheap.
