Any Surveyors?

#30E79h SYSEVAL 10ms

making the SYSEVALs about twice as fast as well as not having to mess with system flags. Still seems silly to me to not include P->R and R->P as user functions.

If you add argument checking as you should when using SYSEVAL timing may get different. Also timing is negligible in this case. Pressing a single button probably takes longer than 49ms
What's more, P->R and R->P are essential for the older RPN style programming (excluding HP42s). Unless one wants to replicate 1:1 HP41 program to HP48, RPL has lots of options dealing better with this. I've written quite a big suite of surveying programs for both HP41 & HP48/28 doing the same thing and noticed that I never actually needed P->R and R->P on the HP48 (or 28).
