→P and →R conversions for the HP-35s

Overview

The HP-35s is lacking the traditional polar to rectangular conversion routines, the only such conversion being for display purposes.

These two routines attempt to rectify this situation. The both take two arguments and return two results. Neither routine changes the values in the Z and T registers, neither uses any additional storage registers and there is no dependence on any flag settings. Unfortunately, LASTx isn't set as per the traditional operations.

XEQ P001 converts to polar coordinates. XEQ R001 converts to rectangular coordinates.

Both these routines are the result of a collaborative effort by participants on the MoHPC Forum.
