If you have the basic program in a text file, you can do the following ...

a) fetch the HP-71B emulator: Emu71 at hp.giesselink.com/emu71.htm
b) fetch the text to macro translator: MK71MAC at hp.giesselink.com/emu71.htm
c) run from the command line:
mk71mac <MyProgramFile.txt >MyProgramFile.mac
d) start emu71
e) then edit a new file
f) run the macro:
[Menu] -> [Tool] -> [Macro] -> [Play ...] ->
select [MyProgramFile.mac] then press [Open] then wait for the macro to finish
g) save the basic file to a a virtual tape with ILPER application (IP mode)
h) stop Emu71
i) reconfigure ILPER application (COM mode) to use the PIL-Box
j) connect the real HP-71B
k) read back the file and run it!
