RPN 28x Calc update - and a routine I needed
RPN 28x Calc is an HP-28C / HP-28S emulator that I run on an iOS device.

The developer has added a USER screen where you provide a list of names (variables or procedures) to the MENU command and it creates a button for them on the USER screen. USER does not work like it does on the HP-28 by bringing up a set of soft menu labels. Wish it did, but...

So my struggle has been - what are the stored variables / procedures on the machine so I can delete the ones I don't want?

I wrote this. Please feel from to cut it by 80% of its size. haha.

<< VARS DUP SIZE 1 SWAP FOR I I GET LAST DROP NEXT DROP >>

This procedure returns the list of USER entries by the VAR command. It then keeps the list on the stack level 2 and puts the size of the list in level 1.

Before the FOR loop, the list of VARS is in level 3, a 1 is in level 2 and the SIZE of the list is in level 1.

The FOR loop gets the I entry from the list, then pulls the list back to the stack and loops until it has grabbed the SIZE-th item out of the list. It then exits and drops the list.

So if VARS contains { TST GAME BOZO }, then the procedure leaves:

3: 'TST'
2: 'GAME'
1: 'BOZO'

on the stack, allowing me to grab the item I want to delete, etc.

Other approaches to do the same thing?
