- The missing memory is accumulated over time. The HP48SX runs just like a
- computer and the memory gets "fragmented" over time and use. The downloading/
- saving of files and reloading should take care of freeing memory. (Its
- worked for others). The HP48SX probibly does not have much of a memory
- management unit. (sorry for the bad spelling above) Many of you have seen this
- problem on computer harddrives, similar concept, execpt no one has a Norton
- Util. for HP48SX.
