Re: prompt

There isn't really a need for such a book for the '41 because it doesn't sport menus to access the commands. On the '41, if it isn't in plain sight on the keyboard then you either have to type it in manually using the XEQ [a] .... [a] technique or you have to assign it to a USER key. I do, however, ...

Re: DM42 resets during program run

Re: prompt

Hi there. This is where the power of the '41 shines :) ASN is your friend. Simply assign the command "PROMPT" to the key of your choice and you can enter it directly into your program in USER mode, e.g. the [SIN] key. [f] ASN [a]PROMPT[a] [SIN] Toggle USER mode with the [USR] key. When it'...

Re: DM42 resets during program run

Do you mean that the precision of Free42 is not good enough? It is the same as in the (slower) DM42. There are two versions of Free42 for desktop/laptop computers.

Re: Translation table HP42s(ascii) <=> HP42s(raw)
