  Right next to it all data of a type were shown.
  The size correspond to the size the data needs
  on the calculator.

  With the right mouse button you get an
  context menu.

  With it you can rename or delete data entries
  and export them as CAS, CAT or IFF-ILBM
  (pictures) files.


- Send/Receive

  In this list all data were shown which
  were received from Casio or imported.

  These data were deleted after closing the program.

  In context menu you can rename, delete and export
  data and you can import.

  To send data to the Casio the data should be in
  this list. With context menu entry Send the selected
