What has the DM41 extra over the HP42s?

[rawi]

Dear all,

one thing concerning the topic of this thread: What has the DM 41 extra over the HP 42S?

Using the DM42 and the DM41X I had from beginning the feeling that it takes more typing effort to put in programs in the DM42 compared to the DM41X. I tried with one program (please see attached file. The program is explained under the following link: https://forum.swissmicros.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2710).

The result: DM 42 needs 646 key strokes for typing in the program, DM41X only 568 which is 11.5% less.

Of course this is only a hint. Other programs will deliver other results. But to my impression especially having a Alpha-Key saves a lot of typing compared with the DM42.

Best
