RE: user vars menu
Hello,

I started with a 48sx also, so I understand you...
Unfortunately, Prime is a derivative (in some ways) of the 38G... which had a different paradigm.

One of the thing that prime does well, in my opinion, is to allow users to USE things in a "unified way", while still showing to the slightly more advanced user that they are different concepts, coming from different parts of the system and that overuse of them could be problematic.

I think that this is VERY important as this is a critical concept in programming. "object locality" you could call it.

Without going to the extreme of some of the modern programming languages where you end up typing tons of lines of the form: framework.subFframework.objectCollection.objectType.someOtherCrap.theFuncitonYou​ActuallyWant(Do, It, Again, With, Parameters)....

Prime does teach you that things like variables and function do have a place that they belong to, and how to deal with collision.
