You're welcome.

Getting a Solver to be nestable isn't easy, that's why many aren't. If you're interested to know how the HP-71B's FNROOT does it, have a look at this enlightening explanation in the HP Journal July 1984 issue, beginning at page 30 (nesting is explained at page 32; up to 4 additional levels of nesting are possible, for a total of 5 levels, which allows for solving systems of up to 5 non-linear equations.)

Regards.
