Itšs your businessto remember and to MOVE or COPY afterwards the ones you want to port 1or 0. At any rate, ->SD-> saves the content of all ports on the card inone keystroke, and this was what people wanted.It is an extraordinary challenge to program tools supporting a directorydivision of the SD-card in SysRPL in such a way that the Ūles of eachdirectory can be handled separatly. Nobody (except perhaps the HP49+developer) is presently able to realize this. - Wolfgang====> I currently have a TI-89 which is getting pretty old.

You can doProgram1(x)Prgmx\\->yEndPrgmand then sayProgram1()Disp xto show it, but you canšt sayDisp Program1()Itšs not much of a problem here, but it is very annoying when you wantto make several programs for different steps in a process that eachneed data from the previous program.
