Attached programs
If your aplet is one that has been given to you by someone else such as your teacher, rather than simply a
copy of one of the standard ones, then it may have one or more ‘helper’ programs associated with it.
For example, almost all the aplets available from the Hewlett-Packard
web site come with sets of up to 6 or 7 programs to do the work, and
without which they are totally useless. The screen shown right contains a
number of programs which belong to an aplet called “Coin Tossing”
which can be downloaded from the web site The HP HOME view (at
http://www.hphomeview.com
).
Normally you do not need to worry about this, since the calculator knows they belong with the aplet and will
automatically transmit them with it. This can greatly increase the transmission time and it is important that you
don’t interrupt the process early. If you want to see these ‘helper’
programs, press
SHIFT PROGRAM to see a list of the programs
currently on your calculator. Even if there are no other programs
currently stored, you will always see the ‘Editline’ entry. It contains a
record of the last calculation you did in the
HOME view and can’t be
deleted.
Apart from curiosity, there is one important respect in which you need to know about these programs, and
that is when it comes time to delete an aplet. The helper programs must be deleted from the
Program
Catalog
manually after deleting the main aplet in the APLET view. For more information on this see page
