50G custom units conversions

Seems OK to me, simply try it out! I have nearly the same directory on my HP50g, I only omitted the bit-stuff with the exception of the bit himself, and also the "it" in the corresponding unit names.

I just testet regarding the SI-prefixes. When I enter with activated custom menu

1 _ k bit (key 1, key underscore, softkey bit)

and then press left-shift softkey kB (for converting to kByte), I get the result

.1220703125_kB

which is correct, since 1kbit = 1000 bit (SI prefix kilo = 1000), and 1 kByte = 1024 Byte = 8192 bit, thus the resulting number should be 1000/8192=0.1220703125, meaning all is perfect!

Kind regards, Ralf.
