However, on the HP-41 we had to live with linear catalogs. With four modules insert, going through the LBLs with CAT 2 on the HP41C/CV could take a long time and that was far from being clear. With the X-Fuction module or the HP41CX, a second hierarchical level (CAT 2 now only shows the modules, the content is listed after ENTER) was a little better. There was a little more comfort with third-party modules (e.g. CCD) with the option to start programs from CAT 2 (which was always been possible with own programs from CAT 1).
On my HP-41CV I always used small start or directory programs for the most interesting module content. I now use it on the DM42X in an improved form, like for my game-module:
In this example HL, BJ, SWR, WO and BOERSE can be started directly via LBL A to E.
In program mode, the individual programs can be controlled with SST and can be started with R/S after exiting the program mode.
