Learning to input programs on HP-41

[Jeff_Birt]

Thanks everyone. I had just worked my way through Volume 1 of the HP-41CX owner's manual and thus did not recognize the synthetic programing lines. It was not my intention to get into that at this time, one must crawl before they walk

My original idea was to take advantage of the larger screen of the DM41X to display a binary, octal, hex, decimal representation of a number entered. Designated keys on the user keyboard would be used to specify the 'from' base and call the correct bits of code to set register 6 for the PPC ROM 'BD' and 'DB' functions. I downloaded the PPC ROM but alas my DM41X does not like any of the 6 micro-USB cables I have on hand, so I was not able to transfer the ROM, thus trying to type it in. New USB cable others have suggested should arrive today.

In the meantime, I can occupy myself doing more reading from Sylvain's suggestions and trying some other smaller ideas.
