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

I am using the VSCode plugin quite a lot and recently ran into the issue of ERRNO being unsupported. The last update on github happened 6 months ago. Interestingly an instruction was added how to add free42 commands. I tried this last night and managed to get ERRNO and ERRMSG into the plugin and then into VSCode. Will test more today - and need to understand why I had to modify a file which is not mentioned in the instructions.

I am by no means a programmer but would like to encourage everybody who is interested in the plugin but feels worried about the lack of recent support to give it a try. The instructions are straightforward.

If anybody has already played with the code and actually understands how things are done there, then I would like to ask a question.
