Quote:(...) it makes sense not having any letter associated to the ENTER button. But where should I move it? Moving the letters M,N,O and P one to the right puts P to the <- button which is even worst.
The HP-32S also has the M on the ENTER button. Let me know if you have any suggestion how to arrange the letters.

Quote:I'm not sure why you would need the ENTER in alpha mode? Perhaps a new-line?
Using the operators would mess up everything. I'd rather put a blind ENTER on one of the operators.

other special characters and APPEND via ENTER

Quote:the printed alphas on the DM42 is meant as an addition to how the HP42 works, so all characters are accessible.
This appending feature by the ENTER key could be substituted by the +.

As I understand it direct access to alphas via keyboard is just an alternative way to enter them. The HP42 style remains.
