- Regarding your trouble with sys-RPL on the HP48. I'm not sure about why
- you have a program object and not a string. Your other problem regarding
- editing the sys-rpl string sounds familiar.
-
- I have had similar problems when a string contains imbedded quote
- marks("). In this case, the HP48 understands the "C$ xxx" or C$ $
- structure(where xxx is the length of the string). This is documented
- briefly in the manuals. If you edit a string that shows a C$ xxx at the
- very beginning (this will only show up in the editor), any addition text
- you add to the string must be accounted for in the C$ xxx statement. in
- other words, change xxx to a number greater that or equal to the new
- length of the string. Alternatevely, chenge xxx to $ and that should
- take the entire command line as a string. Maybe you can use this to
- change the thing that the HP48 thinks is a program to a string.
-
- Hope this helps

- P.S. To this point, I have done virtually all my sys-RPL programming
- directly on the HP48. The RPL library is great!
