Hi,

Following another forum member’s request (@mwest226 's request here: [Pull CPP files (Online makecode.microbit.org) - #4 by bsiever](https://forum.makecode.com/t/pull-cpp-files-online-makecode-microbit-org/19532/4)), I did create an extension with blocks that can be used to save and restore text from flash: [https://github.com/bsiever/microbit-pxt-flashstorage](https://github.com/bsiever/microbit-pxt-flashstorage) .

Here’s an example using it: [https://makecode.microbit.org/S34893-47565-25042-23479](https://makecode.microbit.org/S34893-47565-25042-23479) (I just put this example together and haven’t tested it on a micro:bit yet).

Bill
