As I find RPL superior to RPN, this project could justify the purchase of a DM42.
And I like very much the interface!

I have some basic questions:
- how to quickly access the variables menu? I don’t remember seeing it in the video.
- will comments be possible inside programs, apart from the inelegant "text" DROP ?
- will list processing be available, like in the HP48 G/GX or the HP50G?
- I know it’s very premature, but if variable floating-point precision is implemented some day, will it replace the fixed floating-point precision library? I don’t like the idea of scarifying speed to gain useless precision.

RPL different from RPN? I thought one was a programming language and the other a method for inputting data?
