I could write the programs on a PC and then transfer them to the CASIO without any or very little change.

That was very comfortable, very easy, very quick way of computing.
BASIC is a simple and very easy Programing language, as its name says.

For better understanding, one of that jewels is a BEAM Dimensioning Program, written by me, the way I want to have it and mainly suiting Legal issues.

I need to have those programs in a Pocket Calculator when I do not have a Laptop at the hand.

I bought the HP 50g few days ago, convicted that there was some sort of BASIC implemented and, at least , I could write the Programs, RUN and TEST them in a PC before I transfer them to the calculator.

I don't think that any of the HP or TI calculators will run your CASIO BASIC programs without a huge number of modifications.

If you're looking for a BASIC Pocket Calculator still in production I think that the only choice is the Sharp PC-G850V/VS, however the Sharp BASIC is not exactly the same as the CASIO BASIC so you'll have to do some changes. The Sharp PC-G850V/VS is made for the Japan education market, but you can find some for sale on eBay.

Anyway the simplest and easiest to keep using your programs would be to keep using a CASIO FX-850P.
