Re: Question about a certain featue of the stack

Hi Keith,

I want to know the mathematical and or technical reason behind HP's decision to repeat T's value over and over again despite the
fact, that the initial value put onto the stack after CLST is different.

Re: Question about a certain featue of the stack

thanks for your answer.
It repeats with other words what I already had figured out.

But is the technical/mathematical reason for that NOT to feed the initial value ("0" after CLST) into the stack which it is consumed?

Cheers

Re: Displaying Strings on the Screen

Hi Bill,

thanks for the explanation and the SAMPLE program, which I typed in.

After starting it, I got a "size error" at line 17 of "DISPLAY". This is command STO IND 00.

What I am doing wrong?

Cheers

Re: Displaying Strings on the Screen

Hi Bill, so...weekend-time is DM42-time! :) Thank you very much for writing the graphics programs! This is the kind of stuff, the DM42 screen needs!
