E3ON and E3OFF are just as fast: Type an E and these the first two commands starting with that letter. ;-)

Yes, there is one more command starting with an E (ENG). It will always stay this way unless each and every single command in a menu starts with a different letter.

You didn't get the point: f DISP A accesses ALL, f DISP E accesses ENG, f DISP F accesses FIX, f DISP S accesses SCI. So E3... had to make way.

Following that logic, the other fraction-related settings should be renamed DANY, DFAC and DCONST. ... Pressing D in the MODE menu shows the first of four possible denominator settings and pick the one he prefers. The user can scroll easily through these four options.

I tend to disagree. Personally, I hate to scroll through three unwanted items to reach the fourth. Three extra keystrokes ... Sad

For instance like DENANY, DENFAC, DENFIX and DENMAX. This could be done with FitBest, FitLin, FitExp, FitLog and FitPow, with FrcImp and FrcPro, with ClAll, ClRegs and ClΣ... you get the idea.

Wrong direction IMHO. Grouping this way slows accessing down. On the WP 31S, catalogs are small enough to allow for each command therein starting with a different letter (though not everywhere).

Real menu trees will become possible with the 43S.
