HP50g small tips and trick

[Vtile]

@ David and Steward.

Yes, I think I did try PGDIR out, but if I recall it on the other hand didn't like other objects than directories, so I would have had to create some sort of identifying routine and frankly ... too much work for so small amount of gain. Maybe some day when I'm bored (extremely) and my million and one other hobbies aren't more interesting I write such a thing somehow (I have not looked out at how much there is needed pieces, basicly though toggling purge and pgdir might do the trick inside a iferr errortrap as they have needed identification pieces in their error checks).

Still thanks for both of you for helping hand.

PS. While re-reading my previous post I see that I were a bit unclear, I need to modify the statement closer to the truth (= based on my knowledge). I would needed to state something like purge non-empty directories in same lists as other objects .. or something on those lines.

PPS. Here is the program listing of snippet that clears all objects from the current directory as long there is no non-empty directories on that directory. Where the 'DELT' were the name of the program itself stored also in current directory.

Code:

<< 'DELT' DUP RCL VARS PURGE SWAP STO>>

@Joe
Sorry you are absolutely correct. I feel silly now, I did look the AUR again and they are there, I don't know how I did manage to skip that information and only parroted the internet legend. I modify my post in a becoming week after you have seen this post.
