Hp50g Matrix writer — carriage - Gil - 12-14-2020 10:34 PM

HP50G

I want to write the following matrix :

11 12 13 14 15
21 22 23 24 25
31 32 33 34 35

I want to write it from left to right
Fist line (11, 12...15),
then 2nd line (21...25)
and so forth.

I go to the Matrix Writer and
I select the option Go—> and
I start writing
11 ENTER
12 ENTER
13 ENTER
14 ENTER
15 ENTER

At this stage the calculator "jumps" to new cell “line1-col6".

As I do not need that 6th column,
I "tell" him so by pressing "down-arrow".

Unfortunately, it goes "logically"
from previous cell “line1-col6"
to cell “line2-col6".

With the HP48Gx,
the calculator jumped instead automatically to cell “line2-col1".
Very useful to carry on writing in that cell 21...

With the HP50G, I need for that two more keys :
Right-Shift-Red Key
Left-arrow.

Is it normal or did I miss something?

Thanks for your insight.

Regards,
Gil
