Hi guys...someone of you told me to use a text viewer to see txt files saved into the flash memory....as I need to save lots of notes in my calc, I would like to know which program could I use as a text viewer....I think it should be better then send my notes to the ram memory as a program file...but how would I save my files, and then how would I see them??(which program should I use?)
Thanx very much to everyone....

sorry...correction...."I think it should be better THAN send my notes to the ram memory as a program file"....it has more sense now....

I advise you to use Sysexplorer 4.0.
You have to make your note on the
PC and they must have 21 chars in each line.
then save them as plain text (.txt) and upload
them to the calc press the key used for EDIT (i think it was F3)
et voila! There are your notes!

*EDIT*

Btw. you can edit you posts by clicking on the edit button on the upper right corner of your post.
I recommend placing an line like
*edit
or
=====EDIT=====
in the beginning in order to make the edit better visible

There is a program that will allow a basic file to be used at a .txt file named text reader (I think thats the name of it). You might be able to load your notes into a basic file, upload that file, then use the text reader to look at your notes. The program has it's own wrapping text feature, so you won't have to worry about number of characters or words or anything, and it can scroll down and up for more than one page of notes at a time.

At my (as always) unofficial page: http://republika.pl/casiodev/ there is a program for AFX called TxtView that displays text files in graphical mode with an ultra tiny font (so lots of text is visible).

@Roeoender: I was under the imperssion that TxtView only reads from basic files... did I some how reverse this? also hows that RPG of yours comming?

[Roeoender]

I don't know if I understand your post right.
Anyway Txtview reads just text files from the flash memory.
About RPG - I have exams right now ( that is why I am so quiet lately), but after them I will have long holidays (== enough time to do smthing for the calc) anyway I have spent so much time on this RPG that sooner or later it must be released.

I wrote TextReader - it loads text out of casio basic files in ram - lines need to be ended with a single CR character - chr$(13), exactly like casio basic stores its files (this lets you use the program editor to write notes if you need to). If you have extra line feed characters, it will mess up the display (or, possibly, corrupt memory if there are enough of them) - maybe some day I will update textreader to remove that requirement.

But otherwise, no additional processing needs to be done for textreader to use it... as mentioned, textreader does its own wordwrapping. That being said, it can be rather difficult to get a file transferred to the calculator sometimes - FA123 messes things up pretty badly. I've almost found the best way to be hex editing a flash segment backup with stored basic programs on it...

Otherwise, if you want to load text out of the flash memory, which might be easier to do, give Roeoender's program a try. Of course, textreader is only about 2KB, so there's no harm in having both
