I took a text file, converted it to a LIF file via "alifhdr file.txt file /T", then added it to the IN FILE on IL-Per. I will verify again later today and post an update.

No ! Use PC pure (native) text files. No need to convert to LIF type. Just use Notepad or similar to create it.

This is the purpose of the DOSLINK method: import and export text files from/to the host PC by reading (ENTER) or writing (PRINT, OUTPUT) CR-LF terminated ASCII strings.

Actually, you may import a LIF text file (a pure text file converted by alifhdr) on the HP71 by directly doing "COPY :DOSLINK" (in the same way that I document how to import a LEX file created on PC and processed by alifhdr), but this is specific to the HP71 and will not work on the HP75 and series 80.
