Can you please elaborate what you mean by that? You have the ability to have programs that are only active when the app is running. You have the ability to redefine to run custom code on all standard views, as well as add views. In fact, it seems that to make an "application" that integrates in with the system a general user is much more capable at doing so then on the 50 where you can't really do anything similar until you get into a paramaterized outer loop.

So please explain more what you are meaning there so I can understand. Thanks!

Hello Tim,
And thank you so much for reading my post.
I think about Prime APPS like hp48/49/50 libraries but the Prime has the possibility for a user to add some code in order to customize the behaviour of an application. I tested it some months ago trying to implement a simple equation library and i understand your point.

What i tried to explain in my previous post is that it would be useful to run programs clicking on a customized icon in order to avoid to write the program name on the keyboard or scroll tenth of programs into the editor list. Then having an inform command (input) and custom menu (drawmenu ready to use) we would have the skeleton of all the applications.

Do i have a too simple view of things?

Then the issue could be scrolling tenth of programs in the apps screen but this is another story. In the tricider hp Prime list someone is asking to have folders in the apps screen.

I know this makes a lot of work for a (small) team but these things should be considered in your roadmap.
I can understand the daily constraints and decide if clearing a snag list, implement new functions or give new functionalities to users. This is the dilemma and we cannot suggest as users what to do. This is strictly tied to your corporate strategy even if i understand that you are trying to implement the three topics together...

Thanks for you ongoing support and endless patience,

Giancarlo
