 The command ''[[manual:chapter6:usb:cmd_usbrecv|USBRECV]]'' is used to manually receive an object (avoiding to run it if it's a program): it accepts a time-out in seconds, after which the transfer is aborted. Alternatively, setting flag [[manual:appendix:flags#flag-47|-47]] will achieve the same effect. In any case, if there's data waiting to be received a **RX** indicator will be displayed in the status area; since transfer are not queued if there's an object waiting to be received, any other ''[[manual:chapter6:usb:cmd_usbsend|USBSEND]]'' command issued by the source calculator will fail.
+When flag [[manual:appendix:flags#flag-47|-47]] is set an object can be received and automatically ''[[manual:chapter6:operators:cmd_ovr_xeq|XEQ]]''%%'%%ted using the ''[[manual:chapter6:usb:cmd_usbautorcv|USBAUTORCV]]'' command.

 **newRPL** allows archiving and restoring of memory across the USB wire. Simply:
-  - run ''[[manual:chapter6:usb:cmd_usbrestore|USBRESTORE]]'' command on the receiving calculator: the command needs a time-out in seconds, so <code>30 USBRESTORE</code> will usually suffice;

+The above procedure will send the backup file to the other end of the wire. **newRPL Desktop** also provides options to directly execute ''[[manual:chapter6:usb:cmd_usbarchive|USBARCHIVE]]'' on the remote calculator and save the file to disk, without affecting the simulated calculator, and also to open a file from disk, and run a ''[[manual:chapter6:usb:cmd_usbrestore|USBRESTORE]]'' directly on the remote machine. This is useful to backup your connected calculator.
