RE: Custom Menue in RPN mode
Hi Ramon,
tried your program, hope I understand it correctly:
- it provides a comfortable way to define and handle menue structures
- it blocks the keyboard for other than the selection keys & the "mouse"
- the menue is gone after selection is done
Not to criticize but this is a far cry from the VAR menue on the HP48++ calcs:
- the menu stays permanent
- all other keys and calculator functions work as normal
- the menue structure is "automatically" defined by the HP48 directories

From browsing the forum I see some more or less sucessful efforts have been made on the Prime to make a decent RPL machine out of it. Things that are dead easy on an RPL machine require dozens of codelines and even then you are stuck because of underlying design deficiencies (should I say "features").
After using the Prime for some time, I realize:
- amazing hardware (speed, display, decent keyboard)
- software downgrade compared to the RPL family (if you are not a school kid or student using mainly the math tools)
- lack of decent documentation (official manual is SIX years old)
I'm afraid, this has been discussed from the early days of Prime's appearance and will never change, because the heydays of pocket calcs are over.
