I've implemented most of these suggestions and uploaded new code. The LBL?-> bug is fixed; that was evil!
Fix confirmed !

Specifically:
- There is now a special alpha menu that appears and vanishes as alpha is entered and exited.
- the alpha menu vanishes effectively when alpha is exited with ENTER, but not when it is exited with EXIT, in this case it stays visible and if you reenter alpha mode you get the default menu.
- in alpha mode the alpha menu is visible but inactive, pressing the different menu keys don't do any action
- αMONTH is missing in the menu

- The test items have been re-ordered; I've included the shuffle operator in the x<>y menu.
Thanks !

- SHIFT now turns HYP into HYP^{-1} as well as HYP^{-1} into HYP.
Cool, this is the best way to reproduce the WP34S feature with f and g keys.

- In alpha mode the -> and CPX keys now behave just like the LN and XEQ keys. In particular, catalogues can be opened from them.
- they work as LN and XEQ keys for calling the catalogues with f and h which is great as it makes it simpler to map the catalog names in the WP34S manual with the key names on the DM42. However they don't work as LN and XEQ for the primary alpha characters, which for me is not an issue as the letters E and F are printed on the keyboard for the LN and XEQ keys only.
- and btw, regarding the F letter, as it is mapped to the XEQ key, this means that you cannot press it in a catalog to go to functions starting with F, if you press the XEQ key you execute the current function in the catalog. A minor issue I think and I don't see an easy fix for that.

- The DATE and TIME functions are now working!
Excellent ! Now the Stopwatch is just around the corner, before printing
However SETDAT and SETTIM return "Illegal Operation".

Thanks again!

Many thanks to you for this port of the WP34S for the DM42 and your speed to implement suggestions and bug fix !
I have now on my DM42 three different calculators from which I can swap as I want/need : DM42, C43 and WP34S, thanks to Swissmicros, the WP43S team, Jaco and you.
I would encourage all DM42 owners to try the WP34S. Your version is a great version providing the full 34S experience without dealing with customized overlays and stickers.
