I finally got around to testing this. I created a test spreadsheet using the Psion Abacus for DOS. I saved the file as a transfer file (.abt). Changed the extension to _abt, and moved it onto a directory that Q-emulator has access to. I got into Xchange and Abacus. I loaded the file via the transfer option (as type psion not dif) and the spreadsheet loaded up just fine. The formulas were retained.

Just for the record, I use DOSbox to run the DOS version of Abacus.

Thanks, Tim. I guess this might only work on Xchange for QL, not on standard Abacus (SS in north America?) - I don't think standard Abacus has the Transfer file creation ability.
