Okay, easy one. First, decompress or decode the program. Within ResEdit, go
to the 'Get Info...' dialog box and select the program (variable) that you
want to send to your calc. In the 'Creator' box, put TI85 (exactly as I've
typed it) and in the file type box, put '85P' (or G or S, or whatever it is
supposed to be). Save the file, and then you can send it to your calc
normally.
