But the 41's programming language wasn't named until around 1983, and not available before 1979 ...

So not HP41 FOCAL language then, unless someone writes a FOCAL interpreter for HP FOCAL (FIFHPF) ... ?

I seem to remember that FOCAL was also available for the PDP-11, though can't remember which O/S. Man, that was a long time ago
