17-4 Extending aplets
Annotating an aplet with notes
The Note view ( NOTE) attaches a note to the current
aplet. See Chapter 15, “Notes and sketches”.
Annotating an aplet with sketches
The Sketch view ( SKETCH) attaches a picture to the
current aplet. See chapter 15, “Notes and sketches”.
HINT
Notes and sketches that you attach to an aplet become
part of the aplet. When you transfer the aplet to another
calculator, the associated note and sketch are transferred
as well.
Downloading e-lessons from the web
In addition to the standard aplets that come with the
calculator, you can download aplets from the world wide
web. For example, Hewlett-Packard’s Calculators web
site contains aplets that demonstrate certain mathematical
concepts. Note that you need the Graphing Calculator
Connectivity Kit in order to load aplets from a PC.

Sending and receiving aplets
A convenient way to distribute or share problems in class
and to turn in homework is to transmit (copy) aplets
directly from one hp 39g+ to another. This takes place via
the infrared port.
You can also send aplets to, and receive aplets from, a
remote storage device (aplet disk drive or computer). This
takes place via a cable connection and requires an aplet
disk drive or special software running on a PC (such as
the PC Connectivity Kit).
