I came across the following:
- Why is this QRG not (also) available as printable PDF?
- "Unlike Application menus, a Function menu closes as soon as you have used one of the functions that it contains ..." I must admit I frowned when reading that. I'd suggest using either "Application Menus" or "application menus" but not a mix. Same for function menus, please.
- I don't see "physical buttons" called [BASE] or [CUSTOM] etc. Please think about the format definitions you made. Maybe you need a third format for shifted labels ...
- You write about "Real numbers" and "Complex numbers". It simply feels wrong. Same with rectangular and polar, matrix, etc. I'd suggest using lower case consistently in line with the HP-42S Owner's Manual.
- "If need be you can reduce its size with the SIZE command from the MODES menu." I'd suggest "If necessary you can ...".
- "Real numbers are whole or decimal numbers, positive or negative. The range of numbers that the DM42 can handle is approximately 10^-6143 to 10^6144 with an accuracy of 34 digits." I'd suggest instead "Real numbers cover integer and decimal numbers, positive or negative. The range of numbers that the DM42 can handle is approximately 10^-6143 to 10^6144 with a precision of 34 digits."
- "When ALL is selected, numbers are displayed with up to 12 digits of precision..." should read "... 12 digits precision..." instead.
- Please stick to usual capitalisation rules in titles.
- "All of the DM42's built in functions are available..." should read "All of the built in functions of the DM42 are available..." instead (a calculator is no person, even a DM42 is not ).
- "These functions understand one or more of the following addressing modes: ..." Hmmh. "Understand" sounds wrong. Maybe "accept" instead?
- "Program Entry" or "Program-Entry" - please choose one and stick to it.
- "PRGM enter or exit Program-entry mode" shall read "PRGM enters or exits Program-entry mode." instead.
- "Global labels are distinguished from local labels with quotation marks" shall read "... by quotation marks" instead.
- ...
- ... to be continued (BTW, is there any way to continue a numbered list or to let it begin with a number other than 1?).
