Another bug in Free42 (3.0.14)

[Vincent Weber]

The other solution being enhancing the 42 to behave like the 32SII, but that may be too much of a stretch. The 32SII has a BASE mode that is global, i.e. Once set it applies everywhere in the calc, with dedicated annunciators to indicate the current mode. The 42S has just a BASE menu, that changes the BASE mode only as long as you stay in this menu. It therefore makes it difficult to get consistency between the way a number was entered in the first place and its current display.

But I think the feature to enter a HEX number in a program step is useful, and this is a pity that the lesser 32SII can do it, but not the mighty 42S. Oh well...
