LOL!

Well, 'Merva' is a pretty rare term, and you found something, and it is very much appreciated!!

Well, besides the messaging system by itself, there are a lot more operations dealing with the financial messages, like message handling per type, reconciliation, reporting, payments processing, etc..
These operations typically are handled by complementary systems connected by some way to the main SWIFT messaging system, be it by a network or by file copy.

Our Wang SAFE product could connect directly to the SWIFT network and do most of the messaging processing, but still needed to pass some messages types to other systems for further custom processing, like the payment processing.

Where does a HP-41 comes in this picture?
I really don't know and don't see it as something that a bank would want to do.
But hey, many bank people still use financial calculators despite having a computer at their desks, so...

Just guessing from here:
Considering that the HP-41 has a network capability, it could receive files with specific SWIFT messages types for "portable" processing by small banks or financial institutions that may not see the need to have a full blown SWIFT messaging system.
Who knows...
