You forgot the first words of that quote. I said "like all other tests they are only used in programs." ;-)

Flags are often used to set modes. Think of a TVM program where a flag toggles between begin and end mode. Or, Pauli and I have been discussing whether flag J may be used to control the discrete distributions' quantile returned as integers or fractional values. My statistical distributions package for the 35s uses a flag to toggle between CDF and quantile mode. In another program flag 2 can be set if results for two-sided tests (Normal/Student) are desired.

BTW that's why I miss a flag annunciator as featured by the 41-series or the 35s.

We had this discussion years ago regarding the 34s on the 20b/30b platform. And finally CF and SF made it to the keyboard.
