6.2.10 Importing/exporting a program via the RS-232 interface

The data export function can also be used to export data that is not
currently required to release NC main memory. You can re-import the
exported programs as they are needed.
When you import or export a program into/out of ShopMill, all ShopMill
subroutines are transferred with it.
It is also possible to import or export more than one program in the
