Sending and receiving aplets

To transmit an aplet

A convenient way to distribute or share problems in class and to turn in homework is to transmit (copy) aplets directly from one HP 39G to another. This takes place via the infrared port.

You can also send aplets to, and receive aplets from, a remote storage device (aplet disk drive or computer). This takes place via a cable connection and requires an aplet disk drive or special software running on a PC (such as the PC Connectivity Kit). Note: The HP 40G does not have an IR port. A PC adapter and unit–to–unit cable is supplied instead.
