If my count is correct, there are 42 positions available, if unshifted A-F and the SET COMPL functions are included.

The list of new functions available was (and is) preliminary.. I've already added those and a few more to the latest work in progress.

Quote:This could perhaps be achieved by replacing the three separate DEG/RAD/GRAD functions with a single DRG key that can cycle through the modes. It always seems a waste to have 3 separate keys for that.

I prefer to keep them separate, both to match other HP models, and to make them unambiguous when used in a program. (Of course, looking at the program line will still have ambiguity with regard to whether the line is executed in an integer mode or FLOAT mode.)

Here's a new image. Due to some internal rework, I've lost the legend colors, but they'll be back soon.
