Try it on the calculator.  I'd suspect that it is an HP string.  

The problem arises from the header.  There is a small header at the
start of the file identifying for the calculator the calculator and
type of object, in this case a string.  Sometimes the text editors
will interpret this header differently, and you ASC characters get
shifted 4 bits resulting in goop.  Try opening the file in several
different text editors and I'd suspect that one of them will display
the text correctly.  Then you can simply remove the header and your
file should open in any editor.
