u To convert a text file to a program
Important!
Using the procedure below to convert a text file to a program will create and save a program
under a name that is basically the same as the original file, except for certain special
characters. For details about special character exceptions, see “Program and Text File
Conversion Rules” (page 8-6).
If there is already a program in memory with the same name as the program created by
the conversion process, the existing program will be overwritten automatically with the new
program. If you do not want such an existing program to be overwritten, use the program list to
change its name before performing this procedure.
1. Copy the text file you want to convert to a program to the calculator’s storage memory root
directory.
For information about the procedure for copying files from a computer or another
calculator to this calculator’s storage memory, see “Chapter 13 Data Communication”.
2. From the Main Menu, enter the PRGM mode.
3. On the program list, press 6(g)4(LOAD).
This displays a list of folders and text files currently in the storage memory root directory.
4. Use f and c to move the highlighting to the text file you want to convert and then press
1(OPEN).
k Registering a password
When inputting a program, you can protect it with a password that limits access to the program
contents to those who know the password.
You do not need to input the password to run a program.
The password input procedure is identical to that used for file name input.
1. While the program list is on the display, press 3(NEW) and input the file name of the new
program file.
2. Press 5( Q) and then input the password.
3. Press w to register the file name and password. Now you can input the contents of the
program file.
4. After inputting the program, press !J(QUIT) to
exit the program file and return to the program list.
Files that are password protected are indicated by an
asterisk to the right of the file name.
k Recalling a Password Protected Program
1. In the program list, use f and c to move the highlighting to the name of the program you
want to recall.
2. Press 2(EDIT).
3. Input the password and press w to recall the program.
Inputting the wrong password when recalling a password protected program causes the
message “Mismatch” to appear.
