Hi, Alvaro,

HP-Prime is like having two different calculators in one package: Home Mode, and CAS mode. So, two different parsers, two different approaches available to handle a specific task.
The CAS mode can be disabled, so the calculator can be approved for official school exams.
The two modes interact in many ways,but the integration seems to be missing here and there. That is normal, this is a young product, and it seems that HP is actively fixing and evolving the firmware (next release due in this month...).

The HP-Prime do not have RPL. The programming language is called something like HP-PPL (HP-Prime Programming language) and for me it looks like PASCAL in a more basic format and features. But it is a good programming environment for a pocket calculator, I would say it is above average for what others brands and models are offering.

HP-Prime has RPN in Home mode only.

Hi jebem,
Thank you for the information.

Does that "HP-PPL" has a command something like "GOTO" so that you can jump forward and backword in a Programm?
Does that "HP-PPL" also make a heavy use of the Stack like UserRPL?
