In algebraic mode, in the text book mode, it is quite clear how the key works as hitting “x”, then x^y produces a curser space top right of “x’ for the “y” power to be keyed in.

I think I had it correct. When the Prime is in RPN mode, the key labeled “X^Y” appears to function as a Y^X key just like the traditional HP RPN and RPL models (other than the HP-35). For example: 5 Enter 2 X^Y produces 25 as would be expected by RPN/RPL users.

FYI - I think you're right, but in fact you did write it wrong just above where it says " It functions as a Y^Y key in RPN mode."
