Extending aplets 16-5
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). Note: The HP 40G does not have an IR port. A PC
adapter and unit–to–unit cable is supplied instead.
