Custom Menue in RPN mode

[ramon_ea1gth]

I started with the HP48GX and currently I often use the HP50g, so I see your point about an extra complication. On the one hand, the HP-48 RPL-style machines are extremely customizable, but there is a learning curve, even for programming. But once you get it, the flexibility is awesome and you enjoy it. Though it takes time.

On the other hand, the HP-Prime can be used immediately (thinking about my students) and graphing tools are awesome. The PPL programming language is intuitive. But to use the full-power of the machine, there is again a learning curve and a change of paradigm: from directories to applications. And on that way, you miss some RPL features, like the stack-oriented approach, the power of the soft buttons, and some ties (to my taste) like the predefined HOME variables, to say some. It's a different design with a different approach, but the RPL math/CAS functions are all there and even many more.

I use the HP50g in user mode to get the most of the machine. So not to be discarded in the HP-Prime (still, I prefer the power of the RPL machines user mode). So CSTMENU was the best trade-off I found to customize the HP-Prime soft keys with the standard Prime programming tools. And as a plus, CSTMENU has multilevel soft menus (not by default in RPL machines).

Interesting discussion ;-)

[Edit]
By the way, I just updated CSTMENU with a minor addition to the code: the #pragma header, so multi-language decimal separators are supported to check/run the program.
