HP-65 accuracy error

[TomC]

If I recall correctly, the early marketing literature of the HP21/25 mentioned the improvement of exponentiation functions. (or later?)

Yeah, those who have collected and used and programmed the 65 probably do, but I've seen some people here on the forum who are restoring and newly acquiring the 65, and they may not know this.

I mention it because last night I entered a new 65 program and it didn't give the expected results, and I traced it down to this y^x accuracy error.
