HP 50g Bug or Expected Behavior?

[kakima]

I'm still playing with this and thinking out loud, so bear with me.

If I place the arguments, quote the program name, and press the assigned key, it requires an ENTER. Just as the original post states.

If I place the arguments, the program name without quotes, and press the assigned key, the program executes. The problem with this approach is that the program name has to be spelled out. Hitting the softkey for the program causes immediate execution.

Another alternative is to place the arguments on the stack, then the program itself (not its name) by hitting right-shift then the softkey, then executing TEVAL. Keystroke wise, it replaces the quote with the right-shift and eliminates the ENTER.

I guess I've just gotten used to doing it that way. Maybe you need to consider retraining your fingers to hit right-shift instead of quote.

Again (and still) this doesn't directly address the original question as to why the 50g behaves as it does.
