If they're HP Basic programs, you could transfer as text by RS232 to a terminal program running on the PC.

The HP85B does not have an RS-232 port, I am stuck with the IEEE port, I have seen routines to go between the IEEE and a PC but I never had a reason to look at them before now.. Any help is appreciated...

This is an automatic translation. Not all the errors are mine :-)

------------------------------------------------------------

The series hp-8X, yes he has interface RS-232, as option. It is necessary to have:

- a 00085-15003 I/O ROM

- a HP 82939A Serial Interface

- a Data Comminications Pac

Although in your case, maybe it is but simple to print the listings and to make a scanner in the PC.
