- Hello hp48ers!
-
- Im wondering if it is within the realm of possibility that an HP48s could
- preform as a simple text editor of sorts. Nothing fancy, just keep a
- block of text in memory that would be editable. The editor functions
- would be akin to the most simple of full screen editors for PC's. Insert
- delete, write over, move the cursor around.
-
- Would a HP48s be able to do this? If so would 1 char be stored as 1 byte,
- and also could the text be encrypted and decrypted using a simple cipher
- algorithm. That would require individual addressing of each letter
- as a number (for example ASCII)
