PRINT command & terminal screen need to be Renewed. - Spybot - 02-08-2016 06:09 AM

Hello!
I've been struggling... trying to find a workaround for this command (PRINT) to do something it is not supposed to do. "display a formula in a nice way(text book format)" but it seems to be impossible at the moment (as Tim has been saying lately).
I'd like to ask HP to please give this command more capabilities in future Firmware releases.
Also... I'd wish the terminal screen weren't just a single line thing, for me that would be like unleashing beast on my HP Prime.
I hope this can be heard and make us even more proud of our HP Prime calculators.

I wholeheartedly agree!

Hi,
I don't know if console will ever be able to do such things...
but, furthermore, I would love to be able to make a grob from an formula expression (textbook)
That would work like TEXTOUT_P() for texts.

Nevertheless any console improvements are welcomed (scrolling, selecting...)

One thing I'm sure every one have noticed is that we're actually able to display formulas in "pretty print mode" within the Notes environment. that's all we're asking for when displaying the Print command in the terminal view.
