I've just buy an HP prime, and I came from a HP50.
I use a lot unit conversions, but in HP prime it's a bit more annoying than in HP50.
When I want to introduce a value with units, i.e. 9m, I press

9 [Units]->Length->m

When I insert m (or whatever other unit) the menu disappears, and I must to reopen it if I want to introduce another unit value.
So, if I want to convert meters to yards, I must open the menu three times (one for first value, one for second value and one for invoking the convert command). The same thing if I want to add two values and so on.
I have the same behavior for both RPN mode (that I use) and algebraic mode.
Is there a way to maintain the Units menu open until I want to disable it in an explicit way?

This has been discussed here several times, including quite recently. Read the older threads and you will find several shortcuts as well as some simple programs and key assignments which make it much easier to use.
