Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to find the answer
in the user manuals: On an HP-50g, can Libraries that exist only on
the SD card (Port 3) be ATTACHed, or do they have to be in Port 0, 1
or 2? The LIB command seems to show only what's in Port 0-2, so I
guess the answer is probably "No", but maybe someone knows a trick or
workaround? I have an almost empty 2 gig SD card, and only 300K free
in Port 2, so it would sure be nice to run my libraries off the SD
card if possible.

Thanks!

The library itself must be in one of ports 0,1,or 2, but its programs
can import stuff from the SD card in the same way that standard
non-library programs can.

So you could perhaps call a large SD-stored program from a small library
program as a subroutine.

If you want an example the HLP49 library works that way ... ! ! !
