As I’m fond of the 48GX UI, I like your perspective on the 50g as a “super-48” and would like configure a 50g to, as much as possible, behave like a “super-48.”

I think I can figure out many of the flag settings and key assignments that would move the 50g UI a little in the direction of the 48GX UI, but wonder if someone has already tried this or compiled a list of changes to make 50g behavior, as much as possible within the limitations of different key layout and menu options, more closely mimic the 48GX. I didn’t find an example in the forum archives, but may have missed it. If not, I’ll give it a try and report on the results. Or do you think a keyboard overlay would be needed to really make much difference?

Thanks!

I would like to see a collection of tips as well. I can find bits and pieces of tips through searching but have not found a collection of them yet, particular for HP-48 users.

This site features comparison tables and photo galleries for various HP RPN LCD models. Here are some links to information on the HP 50g. You may find some of them helpful.
