RE: Truly sadden by my Prime purchase - status/plans for RPN support?
Hello Joe,
Thank you for your education on HMS being an object type on the HP Prime, this is very cool. I was not thinking this through when I found HMS+ and HMS- missing - something had to be in their place. HMS as an object type is a powerful improvement indeed!

As it stands 'right now':
- user defined key requires the extra ENTER to execute?
- user functions cannot access the current stack in any way?
- user programs cannot access the current stack in any way, but can return a single object/value to the entry line.

As I wrote to Steve just above, it is hard to understand HP forsaking the many decades of vast proven customer written software? I do not mind reentering or converting to a new language - but a program on a programmable calculator should be able to use the current math at hand on the calculator - this characteristic alone helps justify carrying a programmable calculator along in addition to a smartphone.

All is not lost, I have been using HP 48/49 emulation on my iPhone from as soon as such was available.

Best regards,
-Kevin Waite
