Not a software bug (I presume), but the OM (0.22.7) example on fractions on page 135 gives a result of < 1 033 ⁴ ⁷ⁱ³/₅ ₆₃₂ but the simulator (WP43S 0.22.7 2022-07-18) gives the result with ">".

Thanks for reporting. The simulator is right. You found 1 of two typos on that page, probably caused by changing the fraction display some weeks ago.

Have you considered using bugzilla, bugtracker or something similar?
Having this in a thread can quickly get murky.

For severe bugs, we've got gitlab. For everything else, we rely on fast correction (TM).

Why does CC not appear in the catalog?

Since CC is no command but only
  1. a context sensitive key label for the commands CX->RE or RE->CX (see the IOI for these),
  2. an input separator between real and imaginary part or amplitude and phase of a new complex number (see p. 325 ± 1 of the OM).

How would you do ASN CC MyMenuF1 if the CC button has already been re-assigned to something else?
Is it not the purpose of the catalog to list all functions which are not on the keyboard?

The workarounds are cumbersome, that is to change back to normal mode to access a function which belongs in the catalog, or clear CC, use it in ASN CC F1 and the re-assign the CC key back to what you want the CC button to do.

p296 gives the assurance that a function can be obtained in various ways, except, CC cannot be typed as you cannot terminate AIM mode while in ASN, also CC is also not in the catalogue, and CC may well be assigned to be not on the keyboard.

A bug was reported to me by RJvM, but relates to WP43S:

XEQ 'STO' works and requests the register number. So does XEQ 'DSP'.

XEQ 'STOCFG' does not work. Is XEQ 'STOCFG' not allowed? It crashes the WP43S simulator and produces an error on the DM42 hardware.
