Most of those are already there. I think only UNDO is missing:

Cool. I definitely need to live with Plus42 a little more having missed that!

Although having said that, I think these extended stack manipulation tools are a little too buried two levels in either direction of the Catalog set of soft menus. Much as I like %CH having a top-level presence in the new top shifted menu options, I believe STK is more deserving of that prime position. Both %CH and SST△ seem a little wasteful in the sense that they are single operations rather than shifted keys that open a further selection of operations.

With regards to %CH, is there any reason that the shifted % key couldn't be made to open a soft menu with %, %CH & %T. That shouldn't break backwards compatibility should it? Programs that use % recognise it as a symbol/ID rather than the specific key location on the faceplate.
