The Model 100, etc. is able to send and receive data through the serial port while in BASIC and TEXT. Here are some examples to consider: Let's assume a 1200 baud speed in all examples. At 1200 baud our stat would be 58N1E. To send in BASIC: SAVE"COM:58N1E" To load in BASIC: LOAD"COM:58N1E" To send in TEXT: Tap <f3> function key, enter COM:58N1E To load in TEXT: Tap <f2> function key, enter COM:58N1E I highly recommend playing around with baud rates to see what works and what does not. As I recall, I used to use 600 baud for BASIC sends and loads, and up to 19200 baud in TEXT. I used to do this level of file sharing between my 100 and my old Model III back in the early 80's while I was doing my masters studies. I was the only one in my graduate school who used a computer for note taking in class, and one of only a handful in the school who even owned a computer, and the only one who owned more then one, or actually used a computer for practical, daily work on a regular basis. And the kicker was... my fellow graduate students and I were studying the field of "Information Management" in an MBA program. Kind of makes you wonder, eh! Anyway, play around with this idea and see what happens.
