Hi:

I'm trying to upload some variables from my HP48 to HP4XDEV2, and have
successfully done it binary, but I want to upload them in ASCII format so I
can edit them.

The HP4XDEV2 help says to " Start the HP Conn4x Connectivity application,
and make the connection using the USB port. For ASCII file transfer, select
Text Mode." I don't know how to connect the 48 over USB (i only have the
serial port cable), and I don't know how to select "text mode" with the
Xserver (it's set to text for Kermit, but that setting doesn't apparently
mean anything to the Xserver. Can anyone help me accomplish this seemingly
simple task?

Thanks,

Jim

The Conn4x part is easy: there's an icon marked 010/101, which means
binary transfer. Click on it and it changes to AB/CD for ASCII
transfer.

As for the USB/serial part, you need an adapter. There are lots of
them available - try "USB to serial" in Google or in this newsgroup.
