    You will need to combine the two programs in the stamp editor before downloading them to the stamp. The existing program is erased when you install (upload) a new one.

    Well, unless the two programs are meant to work as one big program, I don't think combining the two will do much good. The Stamp is meant to hold and run only one program at a time.

    What you need to do is just make sure you save all your programs on your computer (and if you're careful you'll save an extra copy somewhere else, like on a floppy or cd-rom).

    You can always go back and reload an old program by writing over the one already in the Stamp, because as Franklin said, the old program is erased and replaced by the new one.

    Folks -

    Just a minor correction to Rick's posting. With a PBASIC Stamp BS-2, only one program can be present at any given time. With the BS-2SX and any of the BS2p* processors, there are 8 separate memory banks available for program coding, thus up to 8 programs might exist, each with its own progam bank.

    Regards,

    Bruce Bates
