I have an HP95LX. I've seen all the stuff in the "hidden" _SYS directory.
I would like to know how to bind the program HB.EXM (note - not .EXE nor
.COM) to a key.
I would like to note that your message, being incomplete in explaining
how to do this, was very frustrating (to me).  Also - don't forget that
DEBUG.EXE is in the _SYS directory. I've locked up my HP95 three times,
and have used up one set of batteries (in two weeks). GWBASIC works on
it, but the PLAY command doesn't work right... The notes are OK, but the
timing is wrong. Ditto for PC Magazine's PLAY command (a DOS version of
it). It runs Pocket APL in Text mode, but not the programming language J,
(at least not version 3.0), and I am a little disappointed in that,
because J is an ASCII-oriented variant of APL. I am currently trying to
find other languages that work on it (probably some versions of FORTH
would work very well). I am also looking for a nifty .PCX file to display
on my opening screen.
