In the RPL world, it's *YOU* who make the copy of the program.

So, you propose to break compatibility with RPL and change the @ comment character into some other character because... TI uses it?
If anything, the comment character should be double-slash (C-style) or double-dash (Lua-style), both of which are readily available in a calculator keyboard without any shift.

You keep confusing source code with compiled code. You don't compile a newline character ';' or whatever, it just vanishes, then it's not there when you want to decompile the program. newRPL's permanent comments are just that, comments that get compiled in, not a fully formatted copy of your source code. The only way to do it is to keep a copy of your text, but it won't be done automatically, it just won't.

And... you still didn't even bother to look at the wiki...

PS: Clarification (not for you, you go look at the wiki, this is for other people interested :-). On-VAR does exactly what this "new" idea suggests, and On-VAR (long press) hides/shows the second menu (still functional when hidden).
