I'm new to 50g, but a long-time HP user. It seems to me that one of the more obvious advantages of connecting a calculator to a PC would be the ability to use the calculator as an enhanced numeric keypad. I often perform calculations on a calculator, and then enter the result into the active cell of a PC Excel file that I'm working on. A few manufacturers have offered devices that combine rudimentary (4- banger) calculator capabilities with a numeric keypad. These devices allow the user to perform a calculation, then press a button to send the result as a string to the insertion point in an open file on the PC. These devices generally suffer from a paucity of calculation features. I'm wondering whether it's possible to get the 50g to send data to the PC in the same way that these weakling devices do it. Maybe I'm missing something obvious in the 50g documentation. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Can the 50g send a calculation result to the active cell of an open Excel file?
