RE: HP 38G: Bug List Provisionally Definitive
The supposed bugs suggested by Colin Croft's FAQs I discard as being either not present in version A or merely unexpected behaviour.

Consequently the provisionally definitive bug list is:

From: Ralf Thoma, HP 38G Einführung in die Programmierung (1996), page 37:

An error appears if you try to overwrite an old programme. If the Program Catalog shows:

AB
CD

& you begin to write a new programme with the name CD you are asked "Replace existing program CD?" Answering "YES" the contents of the top of the list programme AB (rather than the expected text of CD) appear in the editor window. On deleting the text on the screen, writing the new text of CD & then closing the editor you find the contents of AB unchanged & CD contains the text you entered.

So the bug only(!) affects the screen display.

Making a grand total of one bug.

Edit: My result on performing Thoma's procedure is that AB contains the new text & CD is blank - Can someone please confirm the behaviour?
