Transmit a 
program
You can send programs to, and receive programs from, 
other calculators just as you can send and receive aplets, 
matrices, lists, and notes. 
After aligning the calculators’ infrared ports, open the 
Program catalogs on both calculators. Highlight the 
program to send, then press   on the sending 
calculator and   on the receiving calculator.
You can also send programs to, and receive programs 
from, a remote storage device (aplet disk drive or 
computer). This takes place via a cable connection and 
requires an aplet disk drive or specialized software 
running on a PC (such as a connectivity kit).
