Interesting & Creative way of loading SpreadSheet from PC

[bobkrohn]

I just am really baffled now.

My HP Prime program to read a Notes file and populate the Spreadsheet with data works fine.
So I thought.
Then I tried loading a larger file.
This one is 300 Records approx 60 characters (with spaces) wide.
20k on the PC
but when pasted into Notes, shows as... 371k !!
(a ratio of 20:1. What's up with that?)
I can look at it on the HP in Notes App

Start the program to load SpreadSheet and all is well.
Very slow though, about 100 Records/minute.
Program completes normally.
Shortly, thereafter the HP Prime reboots itself.
The Spreadsheet is empty and the previously transferred Notes file is gone.

Another odd thing is this.
The Notes file had some pre-exisiting text from a smaller run.
I had highlighted that and deleted it prior to Pasting in the much larger text into it.

After the reboot the OLD file data was there! What?

After three tries (no changes to anything) I got the SpreadSheet data to persist. So there is hope.
