Get yourself a copy (electronic or physical, up to you) of the HP-42S manual. This is covered in it.

how do you unassign it from the custom menu and unload it? i can do it, but i'd have to clear the state and populate the custom menu all over again. tks, /guy

To un-assign a program from an assigned CST key:
1. Press [shift] [CONF] to access the CONF mode
2. Press the key (A..P) that you want to un-assign (which has the program name you want to remove)
3. Press [<-] to erase all the letters in the program name until it's clear
4. Press [R/S] to save the change
5. Press [<-] to exit the CONF mode
Once unassigned, you can then use CLP to delete the program (if that is what you want).

thank you very much! i appreciate it. when i got my dm42 i overloaded myself trying to learn all the things i needed and i sort of burned out and took a year off it to recover and am now making another run at it.
at least i found the new persistent custom menu capability waiting for me and that had nearly made it a brand new calculator. still haven't found where it saves the custom menu items so that i could restore them when i have to restore a state--any idea why the save state doesn't save the custom menu? tks, /guy
