I was reading with interest issues with unit conversions. I tried to replicate them on the prime and found that the CONVERT() function will not work when the calculator is in RPN mode! (Syntax error) It's fine when the prime is in arithmetic mode...

Having used HP's RPN for the past 40 years or so, I find this somewhat disconcerting... HP used to be the world's proponent for RPN logic - what's happened?

In RPN mode, the syntax is a bit different. Place the arguments on the stack first, then use COMMAND(n) where n is the number of arguments being passed to the command. If n=1, you can optionally leave off the "(n)" part and just type COMMAND. Can you share how you are typing in the CONVERT command as well as the arguments while in RPN mode?
