Pauli:

If I convert my 20b or 30b into a 31S, say because I prefer that UI approach, or key layout, or greatly expanded scientific/numerical capabilities, but I still need to do occasional loan or calculations, I would prefer to do it on my main use machine, rather than hunt down a 2nd 30b.

Walter asked "what did we miss?" in the 31S feature set, to explain the lower than expected apparant interest, so I was just echoing JimP's suggestion, of another set of features which, IMHO, would broaden it's appeal to more users (in general, not here).

The 30b is fine for a primary business user, but the rest of us that prefer a scientific still use TVM features from time to time; probably as least as often as some of the more esoteric stuff already in the 31S.

I get that it that those functions are already built (from the 34S) and the TVM stuff would need to be built, but probably user code would be good enough for this "guest" functionality.

The real point of the post was to explore if a set of alternate functions (like TVM in place of default SQRT, X^2, etc.) could be re-mapped to the keyboard via some user-selectable setting. Such a framework would allow future variations to more easily implement new "built-in" functionality, only requiring different overlays. It also would allow these variations, or contributions to them, to come from additional developers who may not need to learn all the 31S/34S internals in order to contribute some new feature. Just wondering out loud.

Is this feasible, without lots of redesign, etc?
